Also, because I've started it on the Other Place, here's a thread of books I've read during 2023. First one down:

@captainfez OOOH will I hate it?
@elzbethmrgn is kind of like an examination of authorship and race and is full of publishing and editing info, and ptsd. I really liked it. Wasn’t looking forward to it - is a work book club choice - but blew through it today. Fun and bitchy.
@captainfez I didn't like Babel because the Colonialism is Bad and you should feel Bad was as subtle and nuanced as an anvil, so I have avoided Yellowface
@captainfez please tell me more about famed cunt Da Shi
@elzbethmrgn He is excellent in this, as expected. Even terminal disease can't slow the fucker down: just enter hypersleep until a cure is found and then continue kicking ass in the future!
@elzbethmrgn TLDR: still famed, still a cunt. 100 per cent would watch that spinoff.
@elzbethmrgn apparently this guy is playing him in the adaptation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict_Wong
