is she your great aunt?

Ha!

Man, I wish. That would be amazing.

I'm about 60 percent of the way through, and I like it thus far. I guess my only frustration is that it's a really good book so close to being a great one, and I can't really pinpoint why it's falling short as of yet.

After you are finished I’d like to know if it still fell short or redeemed itself. I read it a month or so ago.

There’s a book called Second Sleep by Robert Harris

Post apocalyptic world with no internet and no memory of it.

I suggest it to all.

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm getting it all out of my system.

You should check out The Great Forgetting by James Renner or A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.

I feel ya. Sometimes better to lean in and let it run its course a bit faster.

started this one the other day, though i'm only 25% in, so hard to form a strong opinion. but apocalyptic stuff is always in my wheelhouse, so i'll see how it goes.

Wanted to read this one before the HBO adaptation came out. Only just begun and I already love it.

I'm reading this right now, too--about 65% in now.

I agree about the pace, it really moves and that helps suck you in. I think it gets more frantic as the narrative goes on, which is a good thing--there's lots of implied dread and worry at the beginning, and (I don't think this is a spoiler) when that actually begins to manifest, the tension shoots up dramatically. I like that I still don't really know where it's going.

[bune]

There's a series? Something to watch after Man in the High Castle I guess. I'm going to start the book next.
