Weekly Sci Fi Diary | March 28th 2025

I found this book to be enchanting and unsettling anduh that I thought that priest did a really good job of kind of the blurringthe lines between the real and the virtual and even calling intoquestion what is real what who defines what's real and does it matterif something's real or not real

I think that kiteworld is above all a really fabulous example of World building it thatalthough he does make you work to get to this point the World building here feelsvery solid it's very real it's peopled by believable Rough and Ready folk

The Illustrated Man is effectively myintroduction to Bradbury's Pros style which I thought was wistful uhreflective even a bit sad and Whimsical with a sort of overlining tone of regretsomehow to the writing and it did make for engaging storytelling

of the fourWells Books that I've listened to recently I think this is the one that Iliked the least I didn't hate it or anything but it just didn't it didn'tfloat my boat in the site in the way the same way as like the time machine or theWar of the Worlds
