Wait, Charles Dance is Havelock Vetinari?

Sounds like an i/10. Imaginary numbers are useful.

23: Raising Steam - Pratchett (22 May, audio)
Less sharp satire, but still relevant. Not as targeted, but a world changing and people resisting it. A fitting end to the Moist Von Lipwig series. I now have to watch the BBC version of Going Postal that I just learned about

Oh thank goodness. But still, no bueno.

Another stranger jumping in.
The covers, especially the originals, are *really* not accurate. In a ton of ways. Like, enough that they're a bit of a joke in the community. IIRC the artist didn't read them before painting.

I loved how older editions of Where in the World came with a World Book that you were supposed to use to look stuff up.

I didn't know it was a Lem based game. I read a couple of his in college and now I'm intrigued.

The "Oh crap I don't know any of these kids, I haven't graded anything but the marking period ends tomorrow!" dream. Not a good time

I thought this said about "your party" and I was trying to understand how Pathfinder led to that much gnocchi.

Oh man, yes. A series that lets Taran grow up like in the books. It's ripe. There's so much maturation over the course of the novels

Their choices of Live Action remakes make me think it's less about successful movies and more, somehow, about copyright.
Atlantis, Black Cauldron, Treasure Planet. That's what I want to see.

I'll add a vote for Expanse.

22: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Adams (13 May, audio)
I haven't read this in years. And hearing Stephen Fry narrate is a great way to hear a beloved story anew. I love the weirdness of this.

This is great advice, I'm stealing some of it for my last class with my APC students tomorrow.
The change to hybrid infuriates me for several reasons, but the test questions and grading structure aren't one.

I just read this for the first time recently (thanks local library audio books!) and this section stuck out as so disturbingly relevant.
Thanks for reminding us!

21: Pyramids - Pratchett (8 May, audio)
A standalone, but that's fun! At 43 I found it talking to me about gerontocracy and what that means for my country. I know I would have gotten something very different from it 15 years ago. I think that's what makes good books.

It'd be like "Without saying Jupiter Ascending, name the best movie where Sean Bean doesn't die."

This is so cool! Did you post these somewhere?

He is. On a side note, I just started wondering if Pyramids is why I keep seeing people refer to him as Pterry.

20: So You Had To Build A Time Machine - Offutt (5 May, print)
Light but fun. I was waiting for a huge twist at the end to tie the time loops in a neat bow and I kinda got one. Did feel like "how many pop culture references can I fit in this book?" Fun, quick read though.

Like a 26 y.o. realizing that not only does life not end at 30, you can still thrive into your 60's, but also live each day to enjoy your friends because life is fragile

Although, 26 Going On 60 actually sounds like it might be a real sequel.

Nice. I've gotten 4 and keep dead-ending.
I'm still having trouble drafting correctly for the chess puzzle.

19: Making Money - Pratchett (2 May, audio)
Good. I'm really enjoying my run through as much of Pratchett as my local library has on audio. Should I branch out? Maybe, but these are good, short, and perfect for my drive into work, a bike ride, or mowing the lawn. More!

This game really is *that* deep. A buddy of mine told me, before I started, that she had 32 pages of notes. I pshaw'd.
I'm now many more pages of notes in than I expected and I've only made it to the antechamber once. There's a lot.

18: Acceptance - VanderMeer (27 Apr, print)
I don't know. I feel two things. 1- maybe I shouldn't have read all three of these in sequence, I feel a little burned out. 2- they need a much closer reading than I did to tease out meaning. I think I enjoyed this series...

17: Snuff! - Pratchett (25 Apr, Audio)
Again, as usual, good satire in Discworld. Not my favorite of the Guards books so far, but still a rollicking good time. Felt like commentary on treating other cultures like humans. Frustratingly still relevant today.
