Since the election I’ve nonstop been thinking of the sequel Parable of the Talents

I am reading this now because of you and others pointing out the relevance.

jeanniewl.bsky.social•100 days ago

That’s awesome!
Happy reading! 💙📚

Both of the books in the series are great. So sad she wasn't able to finish the third one.

jeanniewl.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yes.. I am trying to build up the courage to read parable of the talents

Prophetic

@daniellemoodie.bsky.social talks about these books all the time. I picked them both up last week. When I’m in the mood I’ll get to reading them. Thanks for the heads-up

/sigh....I need to do a reread. But it's so depressing with how accurate it is.

She always did see it coming. Much more besides.
And in the immortal words of The Oracle, "What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, *would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?*"

I can’t stop thinking about this book every time I turn on the news.

multifacetedchic.bsky.social•100 days ago

I’m going to pick this back up.

scoobij.bsky.social•100 days ago

It's downloaded and on my list 💜

Read this when it first came out and for years have been telling people (well, hectoring them, actually) to pay attention to what Butler was warning us about. Kinda feel like Cassandra lately.

jeanniewl.bsky.social•100 days ago

lol exactly!

kdphoto.bsky.social•100 days ago

I just started re-reading that again last night! It feels far less speculative and too close to reality this time around.

jeanniewl.bsky.social•100 days ago

Indeed

kenkariuki.bsky.social•100 days ago

Love this
