Really struggled to wrap my head around Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. Seems like one I would get a lot more out of if I read it for academic purposes rather than to enjoy as a reading experience. Time for something a little lighter now!
The mommas may want to tear off your face but the babies sure are cute!
Just completed Angela Carter's Heroes and Villains. While more interested in the post-apocalyptic angle, the back of the book suggested it was a romance. Uh, what? It seemed like it totally tore down the idea of romantic relationships entirely. An interesting book, and well written, but also odd.

Satisfying or disturbing to watch? 🤓
First audiobook of the month completed. Blake Crouch's Recursion, while containing some plot holes you can construct a building inside, and with a love story that was a bit too contrived for my tastes, was engaging, left me with some fun questions for our upcoming book club, and was a fun read.
Kicking the month off with The Sound and the Fury in the mornings and Blake Crouch's Recursion through the day on audiobook.
Very interested in seeing the Clarke shortlist tomorrow I've only read 10 of the winners, but I typically get on quite well with what is chosen (the only exception being Perdido Street which was an audiobook thing and needs another try).
Lunch time walk at the Riverlot.
Gave me some tidbits to think on, but for a book that is on David Pringle's top 100 Science Fiction books, it felt very light on the SF side of things.
