I wish I were half as committed as you are to reading Dii. Also, I love how you intricately opened the literature without biasing it, yet gave opinions on the narration and background. I realized that a book that feels like an off-stage performance annoys you. I appreciate your damn patience for completing yesteryear and The Caretaker, and not dropping it midway-trust me, I would have. Also, loved your personal comment about robot politics, and your rant over noodles and questioning robot sexuality. I enjoyed your perspective and review. Thank you for convincing me to pick up Morning Glory Milking Farm. I am highly impressed by your review of this one.

Appreciation note: your account gives me such a Gilmore Girls vibe. I absolutely love it. Indeed, my favorite.

Awww, this made my day, Jyotika!!! Laughing really hard at Morning Glory Milking Farm becoming the successful recommendation here. What a sentence, what a book! But I stand by it. It had no business being that readable.

Try reading Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater. I'm not the biggest fan of Fantasy but a friend recommended it and I absolutely loved it.

Oh, that’s a strong recommendation. If a friend rec turned you into a fan, I’m listening!

Haha. Some of those covers are hilarious. They are really putting the old saying "never judge a book by its cover" to the test.

I envy the commitment you have to reading book(s) and posting such wonderful summaries of them.

Always great to see your post.

If you haven't i would suggest the fountainhead by ayn rand. It was a mammoth task for me when i read it back in 2005 but i feel you would like it.

Her writing style is very unique so you may either like it or not like it.

I will send some suggestions your way.

I am currently 30 percent done with Yesteryear 🫪 I do feel bit disconnected with back and forth timetravel tbh. I really enjoy her rise to traditionalism and her journey to Tradwive rather than reading her struggling in 1885 because it seems bit repetitive (again I am still early in book so maybe it's too far of judgement to make yet).

I would highly recommend reading Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus :) it's one of the best book I read in 2024 and still remains really close to my heart

Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is another one of my favourite book. It's so well written and feels like Old Hollywood playing out in words :)
