It came to him (and with the force of a revelation) that life was basically one long SAT test, and instead of four or five choices, you got dozens. Including shit like some of the time and maybe so, maybe not.

I‘m enjoying Watney‘s humor, but definitely steers toward Jr. High. 😆
pickI thought I could be detached while reading this and wouldn‘t be surprised by anything. If you‘ve read or watched The Hunger Games, you know Haymitch. What could possibly shock a reader?
But oof was I misinformed. The last few pages, Collins pulled out the PAIN, and I was left a sobbing mess. The Hunger Games remains unsurpassed and Collins continues to add great stories to the series.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 13:Ch.11-15: oh boy, the saga of Peabody and Mcnab is ongoing - and it‘s so entertaining! As for the case, Eve is soooo close - she ran a search on Lucius! Here‘s hoping she‘ll put two and two together and link him with his bestie Kevin. It is very interesting reading more from the perspective of the killers in this book. I was surprised they killed Dr.McNamara but shouldn‘t have been. ⬇️

so-so“Never Let Me Go,” a special song of Kathy‘s, also refers to the fleeting nature of our memories. They go, too. When those fade, we are left with art or objects like old cassette tapes to remind us that we are not clones, that we have thoughtful souls deserving love and a search for life‘s full offerings.
Her name was Marjorie Kellerman, and she ran the Brunswick library. She also belonged to something called the Southeastern Library Association. Which, she said, had no money because “Trump and his cronies took it all back. They understand culture no more than a donkey understands algebra.”
(Much love to SK for always taking trash about this orange nazi fuck). ⭐️
pickI enjoyed this! Set 20 years after the big battle against a big evil, the book series you would usually read, this looks at how the heroes are holding things together and, spoiler alert, they aren‘t. Evil is moving again, but they are 20 years older & trying to figure out what to do in a “fight” without the clear purpose of their past. You get flashbacks to understand the main characters and also The Nine, who are the original group of heroes.
"What froze me was the fact that I had absolutely no reason to move in any direction. What made me move through so many dead and pointless years was curiosity.
Now even that had flickered out."
Another book from my "shed years". It seemed very wry and humorous when I first read it. The world has changed since then. Nothing funny about it anymore. The despair and the banality of the insane around us is amplified.
pickAn AI twist on Frankenstein.
Nothing prepared me for the final twist in this horror story.
