To let the infotainment bath of the day stream over you was to slowly scrub away at the skin of your own humanity.

TrishB Wow 😮 2mo
Lindy @TrishB Good line, eh? 2mo

Epic near-future climate fiction that follows a disparate cast of characters over 14 years, starting in 2025. Science. Politics. Major weather events & fires. Manipulative advertising. War crimes. Fascism. Fanaticism. Drug addiction. Sex. Ends justifying means. Regrets. Redemption. Whew! It‘s a long & bumpy ride: 41 hours in audio. The full cast kept me engaged through the parts that are hard on tender sensibilities.

TrishB This looks really good. Very expensive here at the moment. 2mo
Lindy @TrishB If they priced books by the pound, it would be even more pricey. 😉 2mo

I‘d wound my way from the office to the downtown Barnes & Noble because I did not feel like getting on a train at rush hour, not with the pulse of indignation still beating in my head, and decided to calm myself by browsing books.

Megabooks Man, that‘s a great shelf! Enjoy browsing! 2mo
Lindy @Megabooks I took this at Munro‘s Books in Victoria. It‘s such a great bookstore! 2mo

#audioknitting I started this scarf 8 months ago (and completed several other knitting projects since then) but it‘s done now. And I love it! I didn‘t keep track of the many audiobooks that accompanied my knitting, but the final bit was while listening to the tagged epic. #litsycrafters

Lindy @julesG Thanks! The black stripes are in stocking stitch, giving a ribbed effect against the poofy garter stitch. 2mo
Lindy @Catsandbooks @batsy Thank you! I really like these glasses too, so I had my most recent prescription put in them instead of getting new frames. 2mo

This book was a true masterpiece, IMO. Beautiful writing, though completely terrifying! A true investment since it's 880 pages, but well-worth it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brilliant. Terrifying to consider but so cleverly written.

Amusingly I misread the title as Glade...
This is flippin good so far, the idea of climate change occurring as the story unfolds so we are in it with the characters.

(2020) In the near future, governments respond to climate change by outlawing data that document its effects. An underground network of women scientists respond by caching illegal copies of authentic climate data against the day that it can be studied. I loved this, from its scary-plausible premise, to its unusual narrative structure to its feminist, queer, and colonial themes, to its effective character drama. Highly recommended.

This 600+ page novel takes place in a future where sea level rise has submerged lower Manhattan, squatters dwell among the moldering ruins, and the wealthy own vacant apartments in impossibly high skyscrapers. A lot happens, but the pleasure of this book lies in the detailed world building, the vivid cast of characters, and the possibility of real, meaningful change. Somehow my least depressing climate change read so far!
