Babel, by R. F. Kuang

By the way, there are also book communities here on Lemmy. Check out

Will do! Its pretty interesting so far.

I read as always several books at once.

One of them is Babel by R. F. Kuang. I was blown away at first, but after the first third of the book I’m not as as enthusiastic anymore. Everything to do with languages and translation is awesome, the characters are well defined but a bit one-dimensional so far, but I think the plot is nothing to write home about and has some „young adult“ vibes to me. It’s still good though, and I’m far from finished yet.

Another one is „the notebook a history of thinking on paper“ I just got it today, but it looks very promising.

Yeah, never could get into the baroque cycle von Stephenson. And he wrote at least 2 of my favourite books, Snow Crash and cryptonomicon. Reamde is also very good. But Quicksilver is just not as interesting as the premise suggests.

And Nazi. Don’t play cute on me.

Yeah, but maybe people want to downvote a community dedicated to a nazi?

It was created by the Lemmy developers and is one of the original Lemmy instances. And while Lemmy itself is fantastic, unfortunately the developers are not. They are tankies, extreme authoritarian communists.

Other than their other instances lemmygrad and Hexbear, lemmy.ml tries to look more moderate and has many active and great communities. But if you post things they dislike, you might run into similar troubles like OP.

„Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

Douglas Adams

Lol no. That‘s not how glasses work.

Saved you a click: „The Dark Half“ from 1993

Actual fact: The democrats don’t control the weather and create hurricanes to destroy Florida.

Mara is fantastic. I especially like her voicing „The Old Woman Who secretly lives in your house“ in „Welcome to Nightvale.“
