Yesterday I re-read about half of Octavia Butler's Dawn, which we'll be discussing in the SF book club on Monday. This has been a heavy couple of Science-Fiction weeks. Last weekend was WorldCon. Then we have our local SF book club, to be followed soon after by book club night at the movies to see 2001: Space Odyssey, and then it's Dragon Con.
My current academic reading is still pretty other-worldly. I am continuing to read about the eerily familiar tactics of the Lyndon LaRouche cult. These people have been "post-truth" left/right conspiracy wackos, both obsessed with the deep-state and partnering with various policing and state intelligence services to attack their enemies for decades.
Page count so far: 270
Challenge, Day 6: for a book I learned about from another bout-of-bookser, I just added Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata to my Goodreads TBR. This one looks like fun.
Challenge Day 5 - I started this blog as a way to do music-reading mash-ups, but I didn't post yesterday because I couldn't think of any songs that reminded me of books. I'm more likely to think of a song because I'm reading a book than anything else. So, since I'm a day late on this one anyway, here goes; I'm going to try to keep with the 'Con theme by choosing SF/F books that I've enjoyed this year.
