#chatterday @AllDebooks

It‘s dangerously hot in WI so I took a walk early then we‘ve mostly been inside, napping, reading, playing cards and up next - a movie. I sometimes enjoy a down low day.

Flowers for Algernon | Daniel Keyes
Pickpick

Flowers for Algernon is a deeply moving novel, told through the journal entries of Charlie Gordon, who undergoes experimental intelligence-boosting surgery.

It's a poignant dive into human dignity, scientific ethics, and what true wisdom means. This book powerfully explores the value of every individual, making it an unforgettable, thought-provoking, and ultimately heartbreaking read that truly sticks with you.

GingerAntics @CatLass007 @AlaSkaat if I remember correctly, the tagged book said something about them having 8 legs and 2 tentacles as the main thing that distinguished them from octopi. 3mo
GingerAntics This is beyond adorable! 3mo
CatLass007 @GingerAntics Hmmm. Interesting… 3mo
GingerAntics @CatLass007 I only remembered that there were two additional appendages (whatever they‘re called) because two of them on the sticker were different. They do something different… I can‘t remember what now. 3mo

Honestly, this one is tough. I don‘t think I want to be as smart/clever as this one might require. Did I read every word on every page? No, I did not. Am I glad I attempted? Sure. 😐 If you want to be a Percival Everett completist, I recommend a good trial looksee at the format or trap yourself on a beach with no other books, maybe. 😂 It is absurdist philosophy or true brilliance, if you dare trust this poor simpleton‘s opinion. It is amusing…

BkClubCare And the Iris are part of the story!! #Apr2025 Book40 (edited) 4mo
Ruthiella I hear ya! I think sometimes he‘s too smart for me too. 4mo

Just in, InterLibrary Loan JoCoKS, very excited about checking off another PE. Somebody almost famous said this was their favorite. Hope I am smart enough 😳 “… an answer—and an antidote— to not only what ails the Academy, but what ails a society without the self-knowledge to satirize itself.” (-Carol Muske-Dukes)

Charlie gets an operation to become smart.

1) It was groundbreaking when it was written, very ableist now. 2) As someone who worked with people with intellectual disabilities for 14 years, I have met many people who held the same beliefs written in the book. 3) I wish it focused more on the Charlie is a human being no matter the IQ, not the science/philosophical bull. 4) I‘m not sure the author ever met a person with IDD.

Tonight on The Americas, we got to see this octopus mate and her babies born. It wasn‘t long, but it was amazing! Highly recommend!!!

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie the whole series is totally worth a watch! It‘s SO good! The octopus was especially exciting, though. I‘ve been looking forward to it since the series started in the middle of reading Other Minds. 5mo
vlwelser That series is amazing. 5mo

Sci-fi enough to still be relevant today, this book questions the ethics of academia and science, particularly in genetics and psychology. I would have never come across this book had a student not encouraged me to read it. I‘m glad I did. Charlie will stick with me for a while - as will his delightful teacher, Alice Kinnian, who may be the true hero of the story.
