Will do! Its pretty interesting so far.

Good move, but why not earlier?

I read as always several books at once.

One of them is Babel by R. F. Kuang. I was blown away at first, but after the first third of the book I’m not as as enthusiastic anymore. Everything to do with languages and translation is awesome, the characters are well defined but a bit one-dimensional so far, but I think the plot is nothing to write home about and has some „young adult“ vibes to me. It’s still good though, and I’m far from finished yet.

Another one is „the notebook a history of thinking on paper“ I just got it today, but it looks very promising.

Yeah, never could get into the baroque cycle von Stephenson. And he wrote at least 2 of my favourite books, Snow Crash and cryptonomicon. Reamde is also very good. But Quicksilver is just not as interesting as the premise suggests.

Wirklich lesenswert! Man sollte sich allerdings etwas Zeit nehmen dafür, das ist kein kurzer Text. Also eher in einer ruhigen Minute daheim auf dem Sofa als so zwischen Tür und Schwelle.

Funny. I encountered exact the same thing a few hours ago in post where somebody called South Korea occupied.

Of course I was first downvoted and then banned after I was pointing out some things. They really don’t like the word „tankie“ on Lemmy.ml…

I don’t mind being banned, I wear it as a badge of honour. But they are cowards and hypocrites, which is rather sad.

„Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

Lol no. That‘s not how glasses work.

Saved you a click: „The Dark Half“ from 1993

Actual fact: The democrats don’t control the weather and create hurricanes to destroy Florida.

Mara is fantastic. I especially like her voicing „The Old Woman Who secretly lives in your house“ in „Welcome to Nightvale.“
