I read as always several books at once.

One of them is Babel by R. F. Kuang. I was blown away at first, but after the first third of the book I’m not as as enthusiastic anymore. Everything to do with languages and translation is awesome, the characters are well defined but a bit one-dimensional so far, but I think the plot is nothing to write home about and has some „young adult“ vibes to me. It’s still good though, and I’m far from finished yet.

Another one is „the notebook a history of thinking on paper“ I just got it today, but it looks very promising.

Yeah, never could get into the baroque cycle von Stephenson. And he wrote at least 2 of my favourite books, Snow Crash and cryptonomicon. Reamde is also very good. But Quicksilver is just not as interesting as the premise suggests.

Yes! Brother, we might be few but we are here. Fuck Wintertime, summertime all along.

No, not really. When I first encountered you guys, I was disappointed. Now I’m actually mocking you a bit.

Good one, but you can go outside anytime you want and proclaim that sleepy joe is an asshat.

Now do that in North Korea about dear leader.

But no worries, as soon as Trump gets elected, it will be eerily similar to North Korea.
