Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice president, a lavish birthday …
Beautiful writing. I didn’t think it was connecting with me through the first two thirds, but the final act got me.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the first of six books in the Hitchhiker's …
Goofy. Idk if the movie adaptation deserved the hate it got. Need to watch it again.
Lucius finished reading The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman (His Dark Materials, #3)
In the astonishing finale to the His Dark Materials trilogy, Lyra and Will are in …
Not as magical or profound as I remember as a child, but still made me tear up at moments. The best in the trilogy. Love the world. Love Lyra and Will. Remains a very special book for grade school me.

Has severe sequalitis but necessary for the Amber Spyglass to shine.
Lucius finished reading We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
Get Out meets Parasite in this eerily haunting debut and Reddit hit—soon to be a …
This was fine. A friend pitched it as the scariest book they’ve ever read. It was certainly creepy, but the concepts and themes it played with I’ve already experienced with more interesting execution through SCP Foundation, Control, and The Backrooms.

Wonderful. Le Guin's varied and nuanced depictions of love enamor me.
Lucius finished reading The Telling by Ursula K. Le Guin
Continually impressed how Le Guin develops such a rich, alien culture and immerses us in that worldview. And then, when we come up for air, we know exactly what she’s talking about on our world.

Centuries in the future, Terrans have established a logging colony & military base named “New …
Yeah, Avatar wishes it could be this emotionally moving and poignant.
Lucius finished reading Worlds Of Exile And Illusion by Ursula K. Le Guin
I love Le Guin’s fascination with how cultures and planets tell time. Such a foundational construct that touches every part of life. But the worlds shes conjures are mere artifice for the meat of her stories—embodied characters with absorbing emotional journeys. I’ve never felt so drawn into individuals’ internal landscapes.
Lucius finished reading Absolution by Jeff VanderMeer
Structured in three parts, each recounting a new expedition, there are some long-awaited answers here, …
Increasingly, I realize that Area X is an experience best visualized for me. VanderMeer uses so many words to describe the indescribable, with great skill, but it's all a rich loam begging to cultivate a visually stunning film experience. In prose alone, this ended as a ponderous exercise. I hope there's a future for movies based on this series beyond Annihilation.
