Was interested by the themes of food, culture, and creativity in a memoir. Left for the self-helpy "get over your ego and do yoga". Reminded me of the book "the four agreements" and not in a good way. But i would have probably rather read this.

I am not the target audience. I find that the writer's examples are often conflicting with the statement he attempts to make. I think this book is more for people who have never considered capitalism is bad before, or the consequences of a growth maximalist economy.

My friend gave me a physical copy of this book. I'm reading it on my e-reader. The opening is compelling, but I won't lie, some statements feel really out of touch. But eh, if you're used to this kind of writing, it's not a huge deal. I think you take what you want out of it.

Do I really want to be reading YA? Meh. Do I like that it centers the mythology of one of my friend's cultures that he's talked to me about his research on? Yes! It kind of reminds me of books like "The Sunbearer Trials", "The Actual Star", and "Roar of the Lambs" in the various YA, mythology, and grittiness. However, it is really long and the whole enemies to lovers romance is not for me. As entertaining as it is, I also don't see myself completing the series any further. Thus, I wonder: do I keep listening because it's an "easy" listen, just so I can find out how it ends? (knowing that ending likely will have some loose ends for the next book) I think writing this paragraph has given me my answer.

I was wondering if it would be worth it to read the book if it was marked as a YA novel, after having read the manga. Overall, the story beats are pretty similar and I can visualize the manga as I read it. Some scenes are slightly moved around, and we get more internal dialogue as opposed to the focus on show not tell that the manga has from it's beautiful art. Honestly, do not regret it, just remembering how delightfully enchanting this story is. It's truly underrated as an environmental narrative.

If I’m honest it’s what I thought “there is no antimemetics division” would be like but better for various reasons
recommended by a friend. she said it's gotten a lot of positive attention.

An antimeme is an entity with self-censoring properties. Some are benign; but others, less so…

Kind of horny but the overall world building of China in the near future, from the barriers that autistic or queer men face in the marriage market, to the attempts to maintain heteropatriarchy amid a sex disparity in populations, I'm quite curious how this will play out.
