They’ve been saying that for a few years now. I just hope “The Passenger” isn’t posthumous.

EDIT:

Stella Maris? Haven’t heard of that until today.

“Heavy Water” (short stories) - Martin Amis

“Janitor On Mars” stands out.

"The Sword Of The Lictor" - Wolfe

My favorite of the saga so far.

I'm about halfway through "The Master And Margarita" - Mikhail Bulgakov

“The Citadel Of The Autarch” - Gene Wolfe

started shadow of the torturer again

I started “Urth….” last night.

Almost done with “The Magic Christian” - Terry Southern. If I was a billionaire I think I’d act exactly like the asshole in this book does.

from the group chat:

The fuck is a cacogen the fuck is a nenuphar

A little past halfway and I feel like so far it’s just a strange fevered dream

I am so absolutely confused reading this book
This book is like jodorowskt

That book is so fucking bewildering I don’t think you can spoil it unless it’s for like pre alcoholism [redacted]

“Smilodon” haha

Tried to read again
It’s painful
Like is this translated from some other made up language*
The grammar and structure is like a 2 year old found a thesaurus

haha*

About halfway through Urth Of The New Sun.

It keeps making me think of The House On The Borderland

Fuck yes.

Somehow I didn’t read Urth and went right into Long. Just finished Short so I’ll probably do it now.

i make it through like 5% of urth of the new sun, wait a month or two, do another 5%

this is not a sound strategy

Mostly done with “No Longer Hunan” - Osamu Dazai

I’m not very well versed with most science fiction , is Olaf Stapledon worth investing time in?
