This essay is a reflection on the book The crisis of narration by Byung-Chul Han, read during the summer of 2025. All the quotes are from the book. Because we lack sufficiently strong communal narratives, our late modern societies are unstable. Without a shared narrative, the political, which makes shared action...

I devoured these pages in two nights. I had promised myself three, but after meeting my second goal, I couldn’t stop. I needed to know what came next. What came next was life. Life and death. And that was it. The story was hauntingly beautiful, and it pulled me under. It even drew tears from me. I felt such sorrow...

I added a similarity map using custom tags for my books. They will now show the top 3 matching books according to these tags. But the tags are a manual job... so it should take me 2 - 3 months to complete at a rate of a couple of books a day. But happy to be able to implement after working on it for a while! 🤕🥳...

Just went to linkedin — I log in like every few months. I see a post of someone I know, super smart and energetic, her own walking brand. Then I read what she posted to increase her customers — she's freelance — which at first looks sounded like a nice way to get a niche clientèle. BUT... I cringed with regret of...

I was supposed to stop reading and go sleep. But then that proceeding scene against Morton sucked me in. I'm so glad I'm rereading this! I missed so much the first time around. You learn to read, but you still need to learn to Read. Then it clicks! The brain is amazing and beautiful!

adding tags to my books so I can later create a story of "related" books list, BUT, it's making me want to re-read a lot of them. Ahhh, maybe next year is re-reading year. 😅 #booksThank you for following my feed! ♥ Leave a reply here.

Autumn is here!This season I want to savour my big books, on my couch, under the warmth of blankets and my rob. A good cup of tea. And enough light to read them. Let the cozy days begin! #reading #books #cozydays #coldThank you for following my feed! ♥ Leave a reply here.

Ohhh this is where I got hocked up last time I read this book! The SI! The Silken myths! Is like getting on a rollercoaster ride and reaching the top before the thrill of the real ride begins. Ah! This is why I love Sci-fi! ??

👽 I have a literature problem. After reading those 2 books by Sayaka Murata I need to go back to my Sci-Fi books. BUT, I have the whole collection of Xeelee, the whole collection of Expanse (reading with the bookclub), the 2 Commonwealth Saga books which I read like once every couple of weeks, and the philosophy...

I can't remember much from when I read this so long ago. But some things I'm noticing, how people deal with immortality while in my head the fact that you can transplant consciousness is almost impossible.
