"What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?" There were plenty more possibilities I could've chosen for my response to Daily Prompts QOTD, but I chose this one...

She’s Come Undone (1992). Goodreads reviewer drops “spoilers” 25 years later. Commenters rage. I question reality. Also, a bear rides Rosebud.

For my next read I am learning more about a truly amazing woman (I know quite a lot about her anyway, but this is her own story) #Goodreads #ReadingChallenge #Bibliophile #Bookworm #CurrentlyReading #NASA #KatherineJohnson #MyHeroes

Finishing the book, #The1619Project and it’s been…hard mentally, emotionally. It’s also been powerful + necessary for me to read about my ancestors’ sojourn of terror in the U. S.
How they courageously fought + resisted at EVERY turn for their freedom, human rights, families,and dignity. It’s STILL a battle.Being a sci-fi fan, I will say, there is NO dystopian or post-apocalyptic narrative that comes close to the historical experience of Being Black in the U. S.
This country owes such an enormous debt and humans are the real monsters. #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #mustread #GoodReads

Finished #reading #StellaMaris by #CormacMcCarthy & I’m slightly underwhelmed.
Avoiding spoilers, this is a companion piece to #ThePassenger. I’m not sure, however, that this contributes anything which was not hinted at there.
#StellaMaris doesn’t really have a narrative & despite its obvious ambition, it feels somewhat slight & insubstantial.
Regardless, there are provocative ideas here & passages of real beauty.
FWIW, I gave it 3/5 on #Goodreads.

I’ve finished #reading my first book of 2023 - #ThePassenger by #CormacMcCarthy. One of the (unfair) criticisms of McCarthy is that he writes places better than people. This is very different from his previous stuff &, I think, confounds that critique.
The writing is, as one would expect, stark, but with a brutal beauty. I’ve rated this 5/5 on #Goodreads - but I want to read it again… But I’m going to tackle #StellaMaris first.
