The End Note

pick

The relatively brief novel is very nicely written, kinda weird, and utterly not what I was expecting! And it's also kinda fabulous & has grown on me even since I finished it & I'm still thinking about it! It features the fictional poet Nicholas Crooke, who is hilarious and hideous, and has an ending that is full of fatalistic hope that I was slightly, and pleasantly stunned. Really didn't think I was going to like this & ended up loving it!

Today's selection is this one. Randomly selected, I'm not sure it's really what I need right now. It's like craving The Little House on the Prairie and getting The Road! But I will give it a go....

BTW - happy Friday, fellow Littens!

so-so

This book is great if you like a little technology with your sci-fi. Or a little sci-fi with your technology? Whatever. The writing style is very matter-of-fact & seems to get down to the point rather quickly. The only thing I didn't really like was the roller coaster. It takes you up but never really reaches climax before it drops you again. This book is very well written and I would indeed recommend it to others who are interested in the genre.

tournevis The synopsis makes it read more like anticipation with cli-fi sauce than actual sf. Might be why it felt jarring. 5y

BeansPage @tournevis yes it isn't actually a Sci-Fi but it has sci-fi elements in it. I don't really know what exactly to classify this book as. But I would still recommend this book to people who do like the Sci-Fi genre. 5y

tournevis @TheReadingMermaid Like I said, it's Anticipation, not sf. Anticipation is a genre. 5y

BeansPage @tournevis it is? Oh my! Learning something new here 😃 5y

tournevis @TheReadingMermaid It's not well-known or anything, because you'll never see it tagged in a bookstore, say, but it's an accepted term to describe this type of text. Like cli-fi or solar punk, which are a thing. But it's not always easy to distinguish. Most people just think future = sf and that's fine. 5y

BeansPage @tournevis you are fabulous my dear! thank you so much for this information and for educating me. I really do appreciate it ❤️😘🤗😘❤️ 5y

tournevis @TheReadingMermaid 😘😘😘 5y
