rear end-penny posted:yo baka, out of curiosity what was so boring about expanse for you? the gravity talk? IDK i think it was the revolving door of plots they had to foil like kind of ramping from like zombies to forerunners or what have you and in the beginning it felt tied together and there was a deeper depth to the problems they had to solve each unveiling new problems upon solution while a whole social web of people reacted via both trying to help and take advantage of each other while not knowing much. but like it kind of felt like theyd dealt with anything interesting when they were just fighting space nazis was the last book i read. like i guess that could happen but idk. i liked robo-zombie amos but it disturbed me to think like, thats not the same dude. i think the show was really good and i'm glad it ended before it could get to either the end of my attention span or the end of being interesting whichever the problem was

oh that space nazi thing happens in the last two books doesn't it? I feel like you're talking about the Laconia plot... I guess I have hit that part. it isn't as good as the beginning stuff but I'm still interested if the crew gets back together or what. only about half of that left.

Until he was four years old, James Henry Trotter had a happy life. He lived peacefully with his mother and father in a beautiful house beside the sea. There were always plenty of other children for him to play with, and there was the sandy beach for him to run about on, and the ocean to paddle in. It was the perfect life for a small boy. Then, one day, Jame's mother and father went to London to do some shopping, and there a terrible thing happened. Both of them suddenly got eaten up (in full daylight, mind you, and on a crowded street) by an enormous angry rhinoceros which had escaped from the London Zoo.

I'm reading Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. I feel he'd probably fit in well in BYOB. |

Catching up on Batman. I can't help it, The Joker always gives me a thrill! I'm scared, too! It's why I edit my posts so much! Because they're so scary! |

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. I give her a lot of respect for telling her story and putting it all out there. It's a pretty hosed up experience, but sadly not that unique, and I think it probably resonates with a lot of readers. Nearly finished with Babylon's Ashes, book 6 of The Expanse series. It's been kind of a slump compared to the previous books. There's chapters and chapters of characters being introspective, but very little character development or world-building. Clarissa Mao, who was a big deal in book 5, might as well not exist in this book despite joining the crew. There's also chapters and chapters of various factions having strategy meetings, but they don't amount to much and no one does much of anything until the end. I get that a theme of the book is that all the scheming of humanity don't matter much in the grand scope of the uncontrollable forces in the universe, but there are ways to explore that without feeling like my time is being wasted on page-filler. |

Sean Michaels' "Do You Remember Being Born?" kinda feels old school in its lyrical, flowery language but it's also a very modern book about a poet being paid to co-create a long poem with a Large Language Model. I was absorbed and chewed this book up, highly recommended.
