Free your mind of the idea of deserving, of the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think. -Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed
I'm almost done with Debt: The First 5000 Years, and it had a great quote from the next book on my TBR pile. #booksky
Sounds heavy. This and Wild Seed are next up on my TBR. I'm debating which to read next.
Three books: Grievers, Maroons, and Ancestors, my Adrienne Maree Brown
Just got these in the mail. Having recently read Emergent Strategy, I'm curious to check out Adrienne Maree Brown's fiction. #booksky
I just noticed your bookmark. I love Third Place Books!
For me it's the light rail, but yeah, same.
I just picked it up the other day! Looking forward to starting it as soon as I finish my current reads.
I really liked the vibe of these. I'll have to reread them again eventually. It's been more than a decade already.
Cool cover. I just bought the whole Patternist series. It's next on my reading list.
My latest haul from the bookstore.
My wife and I got to see Susana Morris talk about her biography of Octavia Butler. It was really interesting hearing her insights into Octavia. And she signed our copy!

That's kind of how I felt about Ged in A Wizard of Earthsea.
Fifth Season, Dawn, and Time War are three of my favorites!
I read this a couple months ago and quite liked it. Curious to know how you feel about the ending when you finish it.

What are a few things from it you think people ought to know?
Do you expect me to learn Greek too, for the new testament? I mean, I'd love to if I had that kind of time on my hands, but I'm afraid not.
I haven't started reading it yet per se. I've heard a little over a quarter of it via the Bible Brothers podcast, but I'll start over from the beginning when I actually read it. I have the KJV and NLT versions, in English.

Some explanation on this one: I'm an atheist, just curious what all the fuss is about.

Advice many of us doomscrolling on bluesky should probably take to heart 😅
Book spines of The Broken Earth trilogy: The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate, and The Stone Sky, by N. K. Jemisin
In The Broken Earth trilogy, the characters have internalized a lot of the violent oppression and abuse the world has subjected them to, and struggle with how to survive and resist without resorting to the same evils.
The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien
Dune, by Frank Herbert
I liked your blog post. It's interesting how the book shifted your perspective on god.
Makes me think of Octavia Butler. "God is change."
Here are a couple of my older repeat reads:

Currently part way through these three.
Happy Sunday! Hoping to finally catch up on some reading and relaxing today. This last week was exhausting.
I've barely had time to read the last couple weeks. Hoping to catch up a bit on my current reads today.
I'm 60% through reading this. Definitely something more people should read.
