Just picked this one up today! I’m looking forward to reading it. I love their movies.

Beautiful. It’s on my bucket list to do a walking trip in Scotland someday.

Beautiful tortie!!!

I’m a big fan, personally. I’ve always enjoyed scifi that’s on the more literary side, so well-written litfic with scifi and/or speculative themes appeals to me too. I’m thinking of novels like The Employees by Olga Ravn, or Orbital by Samantha Harvey, Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich, etc. I think M John Harrison’s The End of Everything winning this year’s Booker (two years after Orbital) signifies a real shift in critical and audience tastes.

I just finished Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica (disturbing and brilliant - nothing has made me feel that way since reading Fahrenheit 451 a decade ago), and now I’m onto Sarafina by Philip Fracassi. Going to need something lighter after this one, I think.

Is he a turtle or a tortoise? He’s magnificent either way! :D
