reviewed A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers (Monk and Robot, #2)

Becky Chambers: A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (Hardcover, 2022, Doherty Associates, LLC, Tom)

After touring the rural areas of Panga, Sibling Dex (a Tea Monk of some renown) …

What do humans need?

An examination of what societal rules are built upon in the most philosophical meaning of the question. Of being equal, but allowing inequality because each of us persists in a specific moment that is different than that of the other.

And oh how solarpunk is a perfect fit to examine this question.

A short inspirational tale

An insightful look into a world that could be, our realtionship wifh the non human world, and of course the reason why to exist. Felt a bit too typically solarpunk at its weakest moments and inspirational in its best.

reviewed Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell

George Orwell: Homage to Catalonia (Paperback, 2013, Penguin Classic)

[Homage to Catalonia][1] is [George Orwell][2]'s account of his experiences fighting in the 'Spanish Civil …

An evocative account

very good, and trully a HOMAGE! I read the slovenian translation which was good and enjoyed Orwells witty and evokatice descriptions of the war. As much as one can enjoy the topics of leftist infighting and war that is.

finished reading Amerika by Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka: Amerika (2004, New Directions Books)

took me a while to read it, i hit a rather hard part around 65% of the book where stuff got too "kafkaesque" for me to follow. However the last stretch of the book was really amazing. The whole story is told through the eyes of someone who is insanely autistic and thinks that everything needs to follow a set system.
