Tender? I hardly know her
4 stars
I counted three times during this quick read my jaw dropped because something was just so revolting to think about past the words on the page. Comfortably uncomfortable throughout with impressive meaning to derive and think about long after the last page. Content warning for those who aren't usually into horror lit like myself

gnu finished reading Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert (Chronicles of Dune, #2)
I know this book is the ugly duckling of the series but I really loved the introspective perspective of this story. Think it gets a bad rap from its expectation-adverting release, but aged like a nice, tangy, guilt filled contempt based cheese

The Soul of an (Not So) New Machine
5 stars
Tracy Kidder recounts the uber-enjoyable events of an engineering team racing to build a microcomputer, making it feel like you're the geeked intern spectating at all the engineers in wonder and delight. The personalities, the hardware, the business, the goofs and the gaffes pull you in and never really lets go. Now, forty years later, the book is old and the technology is practically archaic, however, nothing seems to have really changed.
