I just wanted to crawl inside it. I was interested that she was inspired by The Magician’s Nephew, which I also love.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh, yes, that’s a good way to put it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
For contrast, I did not enjoy Piranesi.
Too much of the first four parts were too much like some of my dreams (and nightmares). It was a real slog to get to the fifth part, where...I guess I want to say, the storytelling was more conventional.
Perhaps I would enjoy it more on re-reading, now that I know how the pieces fit together, but it will take a while before my distaste for the dream/nightmare sensation fades, and I might not get around to it.

Our wings are not tired.
I can see that, dcp. In fact, I can see how Piranesi could induce those type of dreams in people who never experienced them previously!

I can see that. I think going in knowing that The Magician’s Nephew was an inspiration helped me understand where it was going and enjoy the truly beautiful prose. Also, because the world is to much with us (late and soon) I almost envied the main characters aloneness and routines and ability to see beauty.

Nebula finalists are announced.
Martha Wells was nominated but declined because she felt her Murderbot series has received enough praise.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

And let's be real, Murderbot would rather set itself on fire than be honored at an awards ceremony.
