I finally started reading books fairly reguraly. I finished A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck and it was the most amazing thing I ever read. I’m currently reading Come Closer by Sara Gran and i’m enjoying it as well. I need suggestions from my favorite Lemmy librophiles. Thank you!
The most horrific aspect of blindsight will be how obtuse the writing style is lol I’m somewhat joking, I did really enjoy blindsight and echopraxia but I dont think Watts is very good at making his writing readable
I fucking loved it, but I think part of the writing of the first book is that the main character is not entirely a person. The fact he’s maybe the most human person there and his perspective is still so weird is part of it. ‘Blindsight’ is a masterpiece.
The second one is admittedly not as strong, but part of the difficulty is that most of the plot happens off screen–because that’s sort of what it’s about, and that’s much harder to execute well.
