Onto #38 on the Modern Library list, I’m excited for what should be another exploration of class and inequality.

Finally diving into this classic, needing to read it and prepare for a project I might undertake this fall.

This was awesome, cannot wait for the second book. I found some of the characters a little hard to follow, but the worldbuilding emerges to something interesting, if somewhat unbelievable.

My goal was to read some non-classics fiction last month. I failed, but can make up for it with some scifi.
This book is about a civil war! Imagine that!
Using my flights to get into some medieval European history, which I should know more about. Also, buy (and read) your moots’ books!!

No. 48 of the Modern Library list is finished. This book was originally banned for obscenity for its depictions of sexual desire in the constraints of English society, and so the ban proved the book’s point. The latter half of the book excels. One sees herself in Ursula.

Such a spectacular book with magnificent prose. I struggle to feel nostalgic about the days when I was immersed in these stories, but I am glad that there’s an antifascist chronicle of that era.

Onto #48 on the Modern Library list, the first of the year.
Actually I did not hate this book, which is different than its jacket describes. Though I disagree with the conclusions, it articulates brilliantly a lot of the struggles I have had with left queer theory over the years.
@jackeric@beige.party sounds like a brit. They always hated the plane.
This book might make me angry, but it’s nice and short and after 600 pages of B-17 history it’ll be nice for a quick read.
Superbly written even if it does at times bog down with statistics and numbers. At times it’s even wistful and romantic, and it’s an essential history of one of the most critical aspects of the war: the establishment of allied air superiority. I’m glad I found this book again.
