A couple of book deliveries recently, a nice copy of The Affirmation 1st UK pb edition, it's not perfect but not something I've seen pop up much.
From WoB I got the 2nd Elric book, and another Priest 1st UK pb, of The Separation.

This is a book with alot of ideas, but unfortuantly some of these are barely more than that, 2-3 pages is not enough to get into anything. The few longer stories are generally good. A mixed bag. #booksky

Finished #WoT book 10 Crossroads of Twilight.
Jesus that was hard going, probably the worst book so far, literally nothing happens. Feels like I read hundreds of pages on how women sit in a room, how they dress today, Perrin brooding doing nothing, Mat the same, Rand absent. #booksky 1/2

Art by Syd Mead for U.S. Steel, 1969. The direct influence on the walker designs for The Empire Strikes Back is well documented. #starwars

In Poul Anderson's slim, early novel Brain Wave (1954), every animal and human brain on Earth is supercharged overnight. Can society withstand the shock of sudden super-intelligence? My first essay of 2026 is now live.

So your a newly qualified nurse?
Take care.
Take care.
So you’re a newly-qualified secondary teacher? You’ll learn
So you're a proctologist? That stinks.
