For a book about how human consciousness is a mistake, and we would be better off not existing, there have certainly been some chuckle-moments. An interesting companion piece so far to Terence McKenna's "Food of the Gods" πŸ’™πŸ“š

Also listening to Steven Weber's amazing narration Stephen King's "It". Damn! He kills it. But that's what you get when a talented actor reads a book. A unique voice for every character and passion in the descriptive parts of the narrative.

Listening to George Guidall narrate Ursula K Le Guin's "The Left Hand of Darkness". He has such a captivating style! His inflection and pacing are intriguing during the main narrative, and then he seamlessly integrates character voices. A Joy to listen to.

"A novelist's business is lying...all they’re trying to do is tell you what they’re like and what you’re like...all they can tell you is what they have seen and heard in their time in this world, a third of it spent in sleep and dreaming, another third of it spent telling lies." Ursula K Le Guin

Its a comedy-of-errors farce about an egotistic, mentally unstable, pseudo-intellectual (Ignatius J. Reilly) manchild who leeches off his mother and can't hold a job - set in 1960s New Orleans. Its hilarious! A colorful cast of characters, settings and situations.

the fact that we can look at most major problems with our lives and guess "this is the fault of private equity" - and have that actually be correct a shockingly large percentage of the time - is an excellent reason to regulate the industry into the ground

Tonight’s reading. The author, Jerry Sohl, wrote a well-known episode of Star Trek, The Corbomite Maneuver. He was also on a road trip with writer Richard Matheson in which they had a dangerous encounter with a truck that inspired Matheson to write Duel, which became the basis of the 1971 tv movie.
