this fucking rocks every time

"Allowing every opinion into the public sphere and giving it serious time for consideration, far from resulting in a process that is conducive to knowledge formation via deliberation, destroys its very possibility. Responsible media in a liberal democracy must try to report the truth, and resist the temptation to report on every possible theory." (p. 70)

I'm 50% thru the audiobook but it also includes the novella so idk how far into Paradox I am actually

there's only one interesting pov so far and we don't get enough of it

this book is so boring can ANYTHING AT ALL happen please

I thought we were done with the psychological tests for the characters and action would start but so far we're all just talking about what they think of each other, not a single action has happened in 2 hours of audiobook 🤔🙄

I read Stanley's more recent book Erasing History last year, but this one is still incredibly relevant I'm sure

"Le fait est que les propriétaires sont des entreprises. Les entreprises réduisent les coûts le plus possible tout en augmentant les prix autant que le marché le permet pour maximiser les profits. Et c'est bien ce que les propriétaires font. Les locataires ne sont que des rouages de la machine à faire de l'argent du marché locatif."

the writing isn't excellent but i am really enjoying this! taking a break to get dinner and feed the cats but hoping to finish it tonight

I don't understand why anyone older than 12 would read this

2 hours left

i see why people were obsessed with this book as a kid like if i read it when i was 10 i too would have been really taken by the story but reading this as an adult is just such a bore sorry to this book's fans

just so bored honestly

honestly really bored like is this just going to be sad sad poor children for another 60% until an ending of some sort happens? dont tell me i wanna finish it

the hatred towards disabled people is hard to read like I know this is a period piece but damn
"we are not disabled and we are not ugly so we deserve to live" is so fucked up

damn these relationships are not healthy

you cannot expect me to remember who's who when the characters are named Cathy, Carrie and Corey

HELL YEAH 🥳🥳🥳🥳

this "solution" part is way too long I'm bored

oh hell yeah this better not end in a redemption arc

oh this is FUN
