@harriorrihar " #Philosofiction " is a nice coinage! #Phifi works may not be recognized as a separate genre, but surely they are written (and read): #Borges, #LeGuin, #Delany, #Atwood, #SusannaClarke, #TedChiang, #RFKuang, …

@craftykraken I mostly love #RFKuang. #Katabasis was a slog, though. Yeah, it was absolutely supposed to be one for the characters, by the premise, but I didn't need to relate that hard.

Alright fellow readers. Who’s read #RFKuang? #Katabasis?

For the life of me, I cannot get through it. I don’t often #DNF books (and I don’t have any issue with DNFing books) so it’s been odd for me.

I assumed I just wasn’t in the mood maybe, or experiencing the usual disorientation at the beginning of any new story and vibe.

I’ve tried four separate times since the book has released…and I just… can’t.

I liked #ThePoppyWar, and #Babel…

Have you read Katabasis? (No spoilers plz) Am I alone in feeling this?

J'avais un peu procrastiné la lecture ces dernières semaines, mais à la faveur de l'opération être loin des infos en cette période d'élection pour ne pas s'auto-enerver, j'ai repris ce week-end
Fini de lire ce soir la guerre du pavot T.2: la république du dragon de R.F Kuang

Akateemista fantasiaa. Kirjallisia viitteitä joka suuntaan. Tykkäsin, niinkuin tykkäsin Babelistakin. Jotenkin on ollut tällainen helvetti-teemakausi viime aikoina: Rikinkatkua ja Kuolleita kukkia Miasmalasta edelsivät tätä 😃#rfkuang #katabasis #kirjat #KirjaMastodon #kirjafedi
