I'm checking out Children of Time. Don't know how I feel about it yet.

Almost done with PHM and here's my take: the book is Andy weir exploring his boyfailure subjectivity thru the protagonist, and the movie is Ryan gosling injecting his loveable wet noodle-ness into him.

I really am enjoying this book. When we're with grace and rocky. I'm starting to suspect andy weir said he doesn't do politics because he's not good at writing it.

Lol. Lmao

About a little over halfway through the book and Andy weir saying he doesn't do social commentary might be one of the stupidest things a modern author has said within his genre of preference (scifi). The book is way more political than the movie.

*chapters. I must have looked so impatient.

Someone told me the book might be slow and they were right I'm 10 pages in and haven't even met rocky 🙃

Doing a reading thread for a book club discussion. First impression is I'm not that into the writing style, but we'll see once the science-y stuff kicks in.

Well if it helps I'm pretty sure that's not how you pronounce it, right? 😂

I'm sad, I would like to be optimistic about this publisher since they have one of my faves.

The two on the right I got for free at my book club and they have somewhat experimental writing styles. And dance of thieves is romantasy. Hmm decisions

Books from top left to bottom right: Dance of Thieves, The Witches of Vardø, The Beauty's Blade, Liliana's Invincible Summer.

Didn't really plan this but I'm choosing what to read next and it's one of these books of different genres which all center women.

And if I say that father-son political drama danmei deconstructs the politics of chinese confucianism what then

I thought it was "fwop" from manhwa.

what i rlly like about danmei is that it feels way more common for them to refer as another was "my wife". theres something awesome about seeing a grown man calling another grown man my wife.

It's nice learning about the different terms too. Like in olden times you might see them being referred to as 内子 as in "the person in my house" (not literal tl, just my understanding of what it means).

People who don't like smut must be pretty chill because work is killing me and I need the freakiest smut to wind down.

Ahh that's good. Actually I did listen to a bit of the QJJ audio drama, till their first time together. I'm actually particular when it comes to plot and because I already watched some highly acclaimed political c-dramas, QJJ's was not grabbing me that much haha

That's a bit of a shame because danmei plots tend to be pretty weak imo. I think I once saw cn fans discuss this but mxtx is one of the better authors for plot. And maybe priest but I'm not a fan of her writing.
