pickNormal by Warren Ellis
Recommended to me by a friend that knows I consider myself an armchair futurist. This friend is a huge Ellis fan. I‘m not. That said, it‘s a good read. Not great, but imaginative and gritty - and short. Originally serialized in 4 parts, the reader needs to stick with it until the end for any real payoff. Recommended to speculative fiction fans and conspiracy theorists.
pickA cerebral, philosophical, thought-provoking little romp through a sort of dystopia in which the savers and the planners of our world, who perhaps gaze too far into the "what ifs", are sequestered in an asylum of sorts, and then are forced to deal with an extreme "wth" when a fellow brainiac disappears and a man-sized pile of bugs (yes, bugs) is left in his wake. I enjoyed this. Though it's not horror, as I was led to believe ?. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My current reading view.
I've got those can't-settle-on-a-book blues. Currently seeing if Warren Ellis can bring me some relief.
Working on filling the new bookcase! #litsypartyofone
It's official - I've started my TBR pile for the #24in48 read-a-thon next weekend! This will be my 3rd time, I haven't made it to the 24 hour mark yet but 3rd times a charm right?!
Happy Friday y'all! What's your favorite Sci-fi book or series? Mine is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm currently reading Normal, a science fiction book by #warrenellis that I received in #thenocturnalreaderabox #normal #scifi •

pickThis is a short, but dense read. I would say don't read this book if you are depressed, but I am not sure if there is really any mood right to read it in. I enjoyed, but just know you have been warned and the future is not a good place.
pickThis book is fun! Geopolitical and geoengineering analysts develop "abyss gaze", a mental illness of depression and paranoia that forces them into an inpatient psychiatric program at Normal Head. This dark, funny, and on-the-mark dystopian creepiness from Warren Ellis is just what I needed.

“Did you know,” Clough continued, in a broken voice, “that more than half of the top nought point one percent—not the One Percent, the Nought Point One Percent—of the highest-paid people in America are financial professionals? Tits. I‘m telling you. Draining the brake fluid out of a spinning machine that‘s going to shred the planet. I‘m a fucking economist, me.”
pickA very short book which, like a TARDIS, is a lot bigger on the inside than it seems. Very clever, albeit with lots of worrying talk about the future. Pardon me while I blow up the internet and hide in the hills now...
Tonight's book is very small, but I've been really looking forward to it. The first line is "hand over the entire internet now and nobody gets hurt". How can it not be a winner?
pickThis was a great. It felt like an episode of that old British sci-fi show The Prisoner. It's also a frightening glimpse into what our future and the nature of privacy could and probably will be.
pickMy very good fortune to interview Warren Ellis on his tour for NORMAL... which is a chilling work of near future SF, a sweetly comic look at broken geniuses, and a pitch perfect locked room mystery.
pickJust finished Normal by @warrenellis. It's a fast-paced, quick but original story that has you questioning everything.
Highly recommend.
A stunning (I'm stunned) and evocative (I'm evoked) thriller (I'm thrilled). This book is an an enrapturing (I'm not raptured [yet]) punch to the gut.
NO SLEEP TILL BOOKLESS!!! 📚🤘🏻📚
Fun. Interesting. Both excited & frustrated by serialization. Want to know what happens. Patience.
