👍Worth reading🚀Unputdownablethis one is really really good, much better than 'night film'. the atmosphere of the beginning reminded me of 'The Secret History' by Donna Tartt, but the plot here is much more twisted. the book is captivating and thrilling and all in all fantastic.
Quotes
- tyahas quoted5 years ago
I sat down in my assigned seat, given to me by Ronin-Smith, and counted the minutes until the deafening student stampede, all the “What ups” and “How wuz your summers,” the smell of shampoo, toothpaste and new leather shoes, and that scary kinetic energy kids emitted whenever they were in large numbers so floors throbbed, walls buzzed and you thought if only you could figure out how to harness it, get it through a few parallel circuits and straight through a power station, you could safely and economically light up the East Coast. - tyahas quoted5 years agoDad had never attended a home football game and had no intention of attending one. He considered most contact sports, as well as the hooting and woofing spectators, to be “embarrassing,” “very, very wrong,” “pitiful exhibitions of the Australopithecus within.” “I suppose we all have an inner Australopithecus, but I’d prefer mine to remain deep in his cave, whittling away at Mammoth carcasses with his simple stone tools.”
- tyahas quoted5 years agoThe phenomenon of Dad interacting with a beautiful woman was always an odd, sort of uninspired chemical experiment. Most of the time there was no reaction. Other times, Dad and the woman might appear to react vigorously, producing heat, light, and gas. But at the end, there was never a functional product like plastics or glassware, only a foul stench.
