This book is wild.
Reminds me of my first encounter with Gaiman — a comparison that I know Moore would likely hate — but without the creeper history, and with the soaring wriggling weirdness of Moore's literary style.
Looking forward to the next book in Long London
Found on the New Books shelf at the White Center KCLS Branch
I was, like, "THAT Alan Moore ?" And despite the cover copy mentioning almost nothing about his legendary comics work, it most definitely is the same guy when you look at the author picture
A fun coffee table book
Not the deepest engagement with these words or the art, but still a fun collection of words.
I particularly liked AMPHIGORY
Strange and thoughtful book with a great, weird premise.
Has a little bit of a "first movie" vibe in that it works very hard to include a lot of interesting ideas and try to make them all matter.
Glad I picked it up though.
In this character driven novel of first contact by debut author Sue Burke, human survival …
Recommended by an old friend champignon who now lives with several non-human intelligences, at least one an avian collective

A good one to start during performance review season
Picked up on a whim at KCLS White Center
A fun book about urban superhero resistance, oddly appropriate to read with Jemison's The City We Made. Many common themes.
Following her record-breaking debut trilogy, Ann Leckie, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke …
Felt like reading a livejournal, in a good way. The first half is a hilarious take on living inside "the portal", which feels very real, and the second half is a personal tragedy, with lately the same voice.
A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. It’s not …
I love the ironic taste of this fantasy romance, and all of the main characters are people i know (including the insufferable misogynist scholar)
Shares Terry Pratchett's legacy of acknowledging dumb gender role stuff and then turning it on its head.
Good stuff.
Navigating their burned-out, futuristic city home under constant threat from a pair of dragons circling …
I felt like this was the beginning of like seven different (and interesting) books, grafted onto two different endings that didn't write seem to match up with any of the seven
Nevertheless i found a lot of new SFF idea and story without ever feeling like it hit the trope heavy story arcs.
Definitely interested to see what KS puts out as a second effort, maybe without the need to fit in all the stories in their head (first novel syndrome)
Artist, technologist, and philosopher James Bridle’s Ways of Being is a brilliant, searching exploration of …
Love the flexibility and broad ranging exploration of different kinds of "thinking" and the possibility of granting agency to more than just a narrow class of human people
