Yet More Reading. Yet More Watching.
READING
I'll keep this brief... There are a few early gaps in my Ian McDonald library and I've been plugging them with ebooks. The latest is Scissors Cut Paper Wrap Stone, which contains Buddhism, Shinto and human programming. Really liking it so far, but still... still... the one I really yearn for is Luna, which Ian read from at TitanCon last year. However, it won't be out until September, curse them all!
NOT READING
I'll tell you what I'm not reading: Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson. I want to, but the Kindle edition is $20, while the hardback will cost me $13. Yes, it really, really ought to be the other way around! As it is, I can do without for now.
WATCHING
Season 2 of Bojack Horseman on Netflix went to some very, very dark places. It's one of those shows that looks so vapid until you've seen four or five episodes. But eventually, the brilliance of its characters and its writing is revealed. Highly recommended.
But however dark BH became, it never reached the upsetting depths of Blackfish, a documentary about a particular killer whale at an amusement park in the US. This was an enlightening and scary experience for me. Again, it gets my highest recommendation.
OTHER STUFF
The tiny number of my recent posts have all been about my entertainment consumption. Almost as though nothing else were going on in my life, when the very opposite is the case.
Those who care, will have to wait, while those who care not, will also have to wait -- they just won't realise they are doing so.
