I didn't even have access to all my emotions the first time I read
it...

Best collection of short stories I've read by far. Good variety,
most are quite short, and there are no bummers. The writing is also
better than usual which is doubly surprising for erotic fiction, I
think. Anyway the stories are super fun.

Book make me cry like a little baby. All time favourite.

What a relief after 3 unbearably straight and awful books in a row.
A wonderful mess.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
There are some nice things in here that I would really like in any
other book, but not this one.
|
| |
|

Such link rot.

The better of the two, but largely the same. I feel like these books
are a bit too autobiographical, but I don't know if I'm allowed to
accuse an author of that.
My real problem is that I read these books as largely uncritical
of their characters. They behave in nonsense ways, are mostly
uncritical of their own behaviour, and don't really have arcs of
growth or change. I suppose this book had a bit of one, but only
in the last two chapters.

Unbearably straight. Eyerolls and sighs per page off the charts.
Shout out to Joanna, I guess.
I kinda like the lack of quotation marks though to be honest.
After half of the Ruth Ozeki novel and now this, I need to get back
to some genre fiction.

Suffers a little bit from middle book but I really enjoyed it. Read
it faster than the first one too, despite its length.

Mixed bag like most collections of short stories. Some of them are
pretty good. The author of the worst written story also has the
worst written bio.
|
| | |
|

Never seen a title telegraph the reveal so hard. Excited to read
the next one though.
|
| |
|
|
|

Look, it's okay. But I should have been done with classics fan
fiction last time I said so.
|
| |
|
|
| |
There are some truly horrifying and gruesome bits though.

So good, but so long. Reminded me of The Ten Thousand Doors of
January at the beginning, and more of that N. K. Jemisin series
about gods later. I like this interacting with gods and becoming
something like one sort of thing.
God, it took me a whole month (more?) to read and this is only my
third book of the year :( I need some more novellas to read, but
the other books I have from the library currently are also thick.

No, I am still rating these out of three. I love this so much.

Sophie is a fucking idiot jfc. She doesn't even get a redemption
she's just bad all the way to the end.

An impressive amount of these short stories are actual stories with
beginnings, middles and ends! Well done! The last little side story
of All the Birds in the Sky is cute.
|
| |
|
|

Good, but slow.
|
| |
|
|

Interesting.
|

What an interesting one!

I had reserved this at the library like half a damn year ago after
enjoying the anime, just to see if I'd like to read the manga. The
answer is not really. Also such a huge and hefty book for so little
reading.
|
| |
|
|
| |
Meh.
|
| | |
|

|
|

What the fuck.

I haven't updated it in ages and I don't want to run (unmodified)
finger on OpenBSD since it likes to tell everyone your login IP??
|

Surprisingly good for something written by a man like a hundred
years ago!
|
| |
|
|

It's like proto-xenogenesis-series.
|

Felt so short compared to the previous full-length novel.

Some good stories but 99% downers. Feels like the editors fell for
thinking that "feminist speculative fiction" can only be about
suffering. Where are the stories of pride and empowerment? Balance
it out, please.
|

Contemptible protagonist, long and tedious. Would not have ever
read Year of the Flood if I had read this one first.
|
| |
|
|
| |
Abrupt ending.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
The writing style seemed very odd at the beginning. Not sure the
end was sastisfying.
|
| |
|
|
| |
Tedious. I must give up on the classics fanfiction genre.
|

More interesting than I remember the second book being, but so long
too.

Found in a street library. Was surprised to find something other
than mystery. It was amusing, but the writing and overall story was
not great.

I have a problem with short stories. They pull you in and then take
you nowhere. The stories were good though, and I especially liked
the SVU one.
|

Gotta say the writing of Queens as a math nerd was kinda cringe
though.

CardDAV is just too annoying to figure out. I'll keep managing
mailing list subscriptions manually.
The getaddrinfo with SRV thing I did implement, in getservinfo.c
in various projects. And I share code by copying files and using
git cherry-pick. Works fine.
