A quotation from Olivia Butler

Choose your leaders
   with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
   is to be controlled
   by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
   is to be led
   by the opportunists
   who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
   is to offer up
   your most precious treasures
   to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
   is to ask
   to be lied to.
To be led by a tyrant
   is to sell yourself
   and those you love
   into slavery.

Octavia Butler (1947-2006) American writer
Parable of the Talents, ch. 11, epigraph (1998)

I am only seeing my own #toots tonight, I haven't even seen a single @donmelton repost in the last 6 hours.

So I shall go to bed and read a few hours more creepy #SciFi by #OliviaButler - The next one is the book she hated so much that she pulled it from publication, so given the rest of the #Patternist series, I dread to think what that has in it!

Still at least it's not #Alien #TentaclePorn :flan_confused:

My end of year #Holiday is in sight! Thank goodness given the run up to it is driving me nuts. Loaded onto various devices are my long haul flights and #HolidayReading:
- #SarahWinman, Still Life
- #MichelleDeKrester, Scary Monsters
- #OliviaButler, Adulthood Rites
- #NKJemisin, The Stone Sky
- @adapalmer, Too Like The Lightning
I think they should all keep me good company. And an unplanned bonus, all female-identifying writers (as far as I know!) @bookstodon
