Sea of Rust | C. Robert Cargill

pick

Okay. OKAY! Did I almost tear up 😢 at the end and then laugh at myself for it? Yep.

#TeamBrittle and even some #TeamMadKind❗️
I just like the term “madkind”, I think. #bookclub #scifi #existentialism

NOTE: the narrator is a woman, female, so to me Brittle is she/her. Does it matter?

Reggie Ohhh I‘m so glad you liked it! The whole free robot town inauguration incident was so crazy to me. That whole part. I was so tensed. 2d

BkClubCare @Reggie - It was action packed and also pushed the emotions without being manipulative. 1d

The Plague | Albert Camus

“Упродовж історії було стільки ж епідемій, скільки й війн; та все одно вони щоразу застають людей зненацька”.
— Альбер Камю, «Чума»

«Те, що правдиве для всіх лих у світі, правдиве і для чуми: вона змушує людей перевершувати самих себе».
— Чума

«Єдиний спосіб боротися з чумою — це порядність».
— Альбер Камю «Чума»

IriDas I read The Plague after 2020. I‘m glad; because I would have embarrassed myself before by thinking “we would never react like that, we‘re smarter than that now.” 🤦🏼‍♂️ 4w

Sunday13 @IriDas Absolutely agree. I used to think we‘d learned from history. Reading The Plague after living through a real one was humbling — it felt less like fiction and more like a mirror🫣 4w

The Outsider | Albert Camus

The narrator receives a visitor in prison. Lined up next to each other in either side of the bars, so do the other prisoners. The conversations interupt one another. It's hard to talk with his girlfriend.

Very interesting. Just because you don't show emotion doesn't mean you are inhuman.
