- Comment on "Parable of the Sower (Earthseed, #1), by Octavia E. Butler. My rating:5 ou 1 week ago:
@ppatel @SteveClough @bookstodon Yes, very much so. Also, if you check the calendar, the dates match up perfectly with the year 2027. I don't know if that is coincidence or planned. I did notice that though, so I'm thinking Ms. Butler planned that.

@ppatel @bookstodon If I could have, I would have given this book more stars. It was disturbing, but also fantastic, and so worth reading.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon I just happened to notice that there are the two editions. I've read a few young readers editions, especially when I think I want to read a book, but a shorter version. I've found some of these young reader editions to be very good and complete, totally different from abridged books which I will not read.

@bookstodon @kimlockhartga Just added "The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming" by David Wallace-Wells to my TBR list. It's gratifying to see that there is also a young readers edition.

@Bruce @bookstodon I definitely did! It took me quite a while to get into it, but I'm glad I kept going. Turned out to be an exciting read.

- Comment on In light of E. Jean Carroll finally receiving her jury awarded money from DJT, t 3 weeks ago:
@bookstodon Reading this book is showing me something profound and something I didn't realize. I've always had a dislike for patriarchy in most any form, but for several years, I sat and watched auto races with my dad. I even continued to do so until the mid 90s or so. The reason I told others I stopped is because of the religious fundamentalism expressed by many fans. But, reading this book, I realize that is not the real soul-deep reason. The reason is patriarchy. What a revelation. So, I'm reading on. E. Jean Carroll, I'm discovering so much through your words.

@bookstodon 👌 I have to say it, I'm gonna love this book--the humor, the satire and the candor. I've just begun, and the prologue made me laugh so hard, my stomach hurts. 🤣 😂
