Welcome to Litsy!

Dune is a favorite, I marvel at how well-crafted it is each reread. Like the first book, there‘s a mix of philosophy, political and religious commentary, strong character-development (albeit male-centric) that I find engaging. Messiah deepens our knowledge of political forces in interesting ways. Otherworldliness is the landscape and character and the outliers, while seen as freaks within the world, are the most compelling for the reader.

You‘re told early on not to read straight through but I did. 🤷🏻‍♂️
An alphabetical collection of quips, sneaky one-liners, puns, uncomfortable farce, sad truths, and even some insights, it‘s an odd film book with an uncommon premise.
Having familiarity with Ayoade‘s work on Dark Place & Ayoade On Top helps make this sentence salad rewarding. On Top rewards the reader with Ayoade‘s humanity while Grip is his searing cleverness and critique.

It‘s a snowy day so here‘s a picture from days ago...that‘s Colorado weather for you.
I loved this book. It‘s a book for young‘ns which was good for me as there was just love and companionship and respect, no crushes or love triangles. (Do I need to save myself some heartache and not read the sequel?)
I loved how compassionately the author dealt with children who are not well-mannered and the feelings of adults who are hurting.
Beautiful & sweet
