I read this soon after it came out; I was waiting for it. I quite enjoyed it.

Having read about it being a longer exposition on an earlier story, I did not read the predecessor first.

So after finishing The City and its Uncertain Walls, I went back and read End of the World and Hard-Boiled Wonderland. I was surprised at the similarity. I mean I enjoyed both books but I don't get all the fuss about the re-write.

@demerara Also, the original translation of Hard Boiled Wonderland was abridged and rather creatively reworded. There is a newer, much longer translation that is closer to the original Japanese that was released apparently in anticipation of this new book. Very interesting to compare this tale across these various versions which are surprisingly different. I'm glad he came back to that mysterious walled village to make up for the cliff hanger ending!

Today in Writing History May 5, 1864: Nellie Bly, American journalist and author, was born on this day. Bly was famous for her record-breaking trip around the world, which she completed in 72 days. This was faster than Phineas Fogg’s trip, in Jules Verne’s β€œAround the World in 80 Days.” However, she also pioneered investigative journalism. In one of her most celebrated pieces, she went undercover to report on abuse and neglect at the Women’s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island. Her report created a sensation, which led to some reforms.

In the latest in Academic complicity with Israel's Genocide against the Palestinian people, New York University School of Law has just barred 31 pro-Palestine law school students from campus facilities and demanded that they sign away their right to protest in exchange for being allowed to return. If the students don’t renounce their right to protest on campus, they will be unable to sit for final exams.

In honor of #maythe4th
a quote from a reader.

"More fun than Star Wars, less earnest than Star Trek.”

I don't take that praise lightly.

The Space Rogues series is perfect beach/pool reading. Fast paced. Witty banter. A diverse cast of characters.

The image features a beach setting with a clear blue sky and turquoise ocean in the background. In the foreground, there are three books and a tablet displaying the cover of a book titled "Space Rogues." The books are titled "The Adventures of Wil Calder" (Book 1), "Stay Warm Don't Do" (Book 4), and "The Behemoth" (Book 3), all by John Wilker. The covers depict space scenes with spaceships and planets. To the right of the books, there is a glass filled with a red beverage, possibly a frozen drink, with a straw. The books and the tablet are arranged on the sand, creating a casual and inviting atmosphere.

My son comes downstairs with all his medieval garb on and asks if I can take a photo of him with a bow/arrow, for a physics assignment: take a photo of something with kinetic and potential energy, extra points for an action shot. 10 mins later we're high-fiving our nerd success.
