Putting it on a box is fun!

I finished reading Shadow of the Torturer, by Gene Wolfe yesterday. It was a book that took me months to begin reading. At first it was a struggle, but I was largely rewarded. Definitely it’s one of the best books I read. I left Ada Palmer’s preface to read after finishing the book and it’s such a great analysis (without conveying any spoilers). Now I understand the importance of Gene Wolfe.

I heartily recommend the "ReReading Wolfe" podcast rereadingwolfe.podbean.com/ . Their take is that you don't read Gene Wolfe, you reread, there's just too much there. Book-by-book, story-by-story commentary,, with the depth you missed the first time.

Forty-two years ago today, the Israeli military facilitated the killing of as many as 3,500 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians in the Sabra neighbourhood and Shatila refugee camp in Beirut.

Israeli troops had laid siege to the camp and allowed allied right-wing Christian fighters to enter it and commit atrocities against defenceless people there. The slaughter went on for three days.

Most of the victims were Palestinian.
