#merveilles est partout !
Bad DiodeStarted reading The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton on the beach and had to put it down after 100 pages. The writing is very sloppy and the misogyny feels baked in. Once they explain that they need a single man to make the call for a critical decision because it was “backed by science” that they make the correct decision under pressure more often than married man or women I was out 🤮
I used to love Crichton books when I was a kid, particularly Timeline, Prey and Jurassic Park but if they were all like this all along I don’t think I’ll ever revisit them.

Artyom BologovHey y’all, I have a fun rarity to share! #Armenian #shorthand system / book from 1888! While the system is quite bad, it’s a nice historic dive. Go read and learn something: https://aartaka.me/arm-shorthand-1888.html
This is also my first post with fully non-linear narrative. All the sections, except for intro and outro are shuffled randomly and read as isolated units. Try reloading to re-shuffle!
wrackSardinian siesta hours (re)reading: Pharmacopoeia, A Dungeness Diary by Derek Jarman (an anthology of sorts, with a foreword by Tilda Swinton).
Evening reading: Pariah Genius, a semi-mythical biography of the notorious London photographer John Deakin, by Iain Sinclair.
Just finished “This is how you lose the time war” and I’ve no words to describe how beautiful the prose on this novella is. Loved it so much, the imagery is so vivid and sometimes abstract it reminded me a bit of Blame! (Which I’m due to reread soon)
Devine Lu LinvegaPut down Dubliners(it did NOT spark a single bit of joy) and picked up instead Calvino's If On A Winter's Night, sat there transfixed and read half of it in one sitting, it's such a fun concept, how is it possible for a book to make you feel like this, this is pure book magic!
