    An autistic wallflower becomes the latest in a line of clones for the god-emperor. Long philosophical rambling ensues as the wallflower continues to just let bad shit happen to him without ever just walking away or speaking up.

    American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and Building a non anxious life by Dr. John Delony. The former being fiction and the latter being non fiction. To nobody’s surprise, they do not play well together.

  • I can’t read unless it’s completely quiet so I seldom even attempt to read a book. Mostly, I’ll read RSS and other short articles.

    The last book was “Extreme Privacy: Mobile Devices” by Michael Bazzell which I read in 2024.

    Before that was “The Passive Solar Energy Book” by Edward Mazria. Maybe 20 years ago.

    Combined = a very private, off-grid, homestead.

    Everything All at Once by Bill Nye

    +.

    The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton

    =

    Bill Nye must solve a series of mysterious crimes including theft, witch hunts, and murder on a 17th century East Indiaman ship. I’d read the heck out of that.

    A thicker book, I just read part one and two of one story (“Human Phoenix” and “Human Man”).

    Isles of the Emberdark by Brandon Sanderson and The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu

    Actually… actually I don’t think you’d have too hard of a time combining those two. A wildman from ancient China discovers outer space and aliens?

      Many Americans read so little that they probably don’t.

      To many it would probably be Curious George or the alphabet.

        Well, that’s kinda sad. I read quite a bit though. some months I’ll read 5 books, other months only 1. I suppose that’s already quite a lot.

        I think the problem with not remembering might be something personal, my memory tends te be very selective.

        For some reason I’m unable to do so, but I could have a look at what books I recently read and have a okish recollection of their contents. Maybe my memory is just bad.
