At first it felt like bah, this is last century's meme but then it gets more existentialist and clever. Enjoyed the second half much better than the beginning, which is good I guess...

Felt like I should have though. But alas, I can't control that. And that is sort of funny. I'll get back to it sometime. Maybe it's a book to have in physical format, read little bits of every week, and try to practice that lesson that week. Just reading through it felt like it would just fall off my head and a be for nothing. Yes, this is all very meta and recursive. Sort of.

I was not in the mood. Couldn't focus on it. It might just be my head. Love Leonard. Will try again some other time.

But... I didn't really engage with it. The stories are obviously huge and terrible and we all should know all of this very well. And I do. It was just nothing that I didn't already deeply know at this point in my life so I abandoned the book without finishing it. But you know, do read it. Kids: read it! If there's anything in there that you didn't know, or that can still unlock new depths of humanity for you, you must read it! I didn't need to at this point and there's so much to be read and so little time! So I moved on pretty quick.

I'm impatient these days. I read to relax and enjoy and escape the world's daily toils. And I'm not getting any younger. So I abandoned it after a couple of attempts. But maybe you love it, who knows!

I thought it was great. Let field and it doesn't patronize the reader (you have to keep up!) but I loved it. A bucket of fresh air.

Short and sweet and human. Modern humanist SF. A good torch beater for the legacy of Asimov together with Ann Leckie (who's head of the class). This is a more lightweight but very enjoyable read. Great in its own way.

Super cool gender, identity, cultural and existential stuff. A new gold standard I think. Felt like home, finally.
Can't remeber. But read it quickly.
