The premise very much reminds me of The Plague by Camus. I remember that book gave nightmares to my peers in high school. I‘m curious to see how Pamuk varies the theme.

I‘m going to have to make that home library list of Star Trek books. This is the third I‘ve restarted before realizing I‘ve read it before 😁

RamsFan1963 Well on the bright side of things, it is one of the better Star Trek novels 1w
Chittavrtti No lie. I‘m going to decide which edition‘s cover I like best and start a give away stack to convert the Trek-less with the duplicates. 1w

Getting around to reading the other the book in this volume. Just finished the story. Parts remind me of Slaughter House Five: time is fluctuating, war is a constant, people are more than their linear contexts.

A historical novel about young Julius Caesar. It reminded me a bit of I, Claudius without all the action, if that makes sense. I‘m not sure if I was supposed to admire Caesar or reflect on the idea that how one begins is not always how one ends.

So very many past and present world parallels to this never ending cycle of vengence.

Reminiscences of A Swiftly Tilting Planet combine with some foreshadowing of Jemison‘s City and a wee bit of Dream.

TiredLibrarian Intriguing premise! 5mo
Chittavrtti 50 pages in and it‘s very good. Truly creepy in its acceptance of authoritarian dictatorship. 5mo

The Wave | Todd Strasser
post image

From the back cover:
“…As they study WWII, Ben Ross‘s students can‘t seem to understand how the German people could have followed Hitler and the Nazis. So Mr. Ross created an experimental movement called The Wave. What begins in a single classroom quickly gathers momentum. Before the end of the week, The Wave‘s motto, “Strength Through Discipline, Strength Through Community, Strength Through Action,” governs the entire school…”

So many years. So many readings attended. So much admiration. Does rottenness build over time or is the germ of it always present? I just cleared and packed a shelf of books gathered over the years.

Tamra I wouldn‘t keep them either. Difficult. 😖 6mo

I‘ve frequently tried to track my reading in writing. The closest I‘ve come to success is with Litsy. For the coming year I‘m going to keep track in a journal as well. This one is fairly straightforward. It is not whichever one is listed in the header.

Not dragon lizards as my secret (secret) friend likes English dragons. NB will not be making hats with this yarn again as I had the opportunity to watch it turn from beanie to bucket hat in three days.

Still reading. Reached out to “help/support” about the missing features (e.g. no photos, likes, comments, edits.
