I don’t know I like bleak and horrible books just fine!! I don’t know how else to describe it except if it feels too much like near future earth i get mad

I do not visit science fictional worlds to experience the crushing reality of our present dystopia

I also have never read anything by Octavia butler or ursula K leguin or philip k dick and I know that that’s bad. but my problem is if it resembles to reality too much I get mad. for example, I really liked like 90% of who fears death except for when they were bickering for no damn reason lol

i count the first two dunes as one big book. I need to reread Hyperion or it might make it up there based on what I remember

i’m obsessed with it, I also liked player of games. I think I would put use of weapons, dune/dune Messiah, annihilation, solaris, & player of games as my top five sci-fi ever. Seveneves and anathem could’ve cracked the top five if neal stephenson knew went to shut the fuck up

i’ve started to publicly shame people when they tell me they got nonessential stuff on amazon.. it’s gone pretty well. usually i say, “oh, you’re better than that!” in a friendly but serious tone 

my desire to gobble up a lot of non-fiction lately comes from the fact that I know my vibes-based predictions & beliefs are correct. but now I need citable data, research, & cold hard facts lol

most newly-manufactured clothing is insultingly unethical & garbage quality, including designer… but higher-end bras r prob one of the last bastions of quality for price point in retail. the companies r likely still exploiting workers but at least the bras perform their damn function for a few years
