ONLY THE ANIMALS

Hold on to your baguettes.
The comparisons to Fargo are apt. This twisty French thriller will titillate your Audrey Tatous and Jean your Dejardin.
Will make you want to read subtitles! Je voudrais une chambre pour deux!

Leaving the topic of AI, and touching more generally on this related topic of 'banality of evil' identified by Hannah Arendt — this loathsome 'non-thinking reason' (raison non-pensante) —, here's a highly recommended read:

It is a different genre to my usual reading, fantasy more than sci-fi I think.

Mastodon fam, I could use your help! I'm looking for uplifting/inspiring books for trans youth that I could give my son. Fiction would be great too, anything fun to read that a 14 year old would enjoy and where he can see himself represented. Would appreciate boosts to get more suggestions!

I was thinking of walking to the nearest cafe to read blogs and journal but realize I have a perfectly good spot in my apartment to do that. If you have been following my posts, the nest is at the upper right corner of the pic, hanging from the plant.

Aliette de Bodard. The Red Scholar's wake.

Space opera and factional politics swirl around the growing romance between a pirate ship mind and one of her captives.

I've been reading a lot of f/f fiction recently for some reason.

Vivian Shaw. Grave importance.

The end of the Greta Helsing series (although Elizabeth Bear seemed to suggest that more was to come). And a wonderful end of the series it is.

TJ Klune. Under the whispering door.

Cozy m/m fantasy. High powered big city lawyer dies and meets gay small town psychopomp with found family. Hijinks ensue.

(The second book this month I've read that features psychopomps, but this one doesn't actually use the word.)

NK Jemison. The world we make.

Sequel to The city we became. An incredible wrap up. Read the acknowledgments at the end to see how reality affected its development.

Aliette Bodard. Of charms, ghosts and grievances.

M/M dragon, fallen angel couple babysit some unruly kids while trying to solve a mystery. Novella, so a quick read.

Molly McCarthy. 2013. The accidental diarist: a history of the daily planner in America.

A dense read, but one that sparked a lot of thoughts, and made some surprising connections across history, especially in the late 17th C. Just think about the fact that a 1690s colonial almanac publisher included a 10 page editorial on the "new" Copernican cosmology.

It also brought to mind the day planners distributed by the student council when I was an undergrad.
