I think I'll need to re-read this in a year or something. It's a raw thing, and paints a bleak picture of the UK that's only become more and more in focus since its publication.

I think I'm glad I read this.

@quantum@mathstodon.xyz I'm usually "reading" several books at a time, deciding what to read depending on my mood. It might not be a very efficient way to read, but I think it allows me to enjoy things more than if I plowed through one book at a time

Getting back into this after a loooooong break and I've missed Le Guin's writing so much. The descriptions of Hort town alone are so vivid and vibrant that I don't think I could read it without picturing it

Took me a while to finish this, but The Cyberiad is a thoroughly enjoyable collection. It's not easy to follow what's written given how inventive Lem is with language (the translator, Michael Kandel, has done an amazing job on a difficult task), but follow it I did.

I wouldn't say that this is a book to be read in one go. I'd recommend reading it in several spurts (a sally at a time perhaps) over the span of some months.
