Csepp 🌢Finally finished reading <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/WatershipDown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WatershipDown</a> . I have a lot of feelings about it, will try to write a proper "review" later. For now I'll just say it's one of the best novels I've read. <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theLibrary</a>

rostigerReading about the history of the Longo maï movement, one of the oldest, still existing agricultural, anti-capitalist/anarchist co-operatives in Europe that I had the pleasure of visiting in Limans last summer. <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theLibrary</a>

(does IF / VN stuff belong there? I'd argue it should.)

Devine Lu LinvegaI think this has got to be one of my favourite lines in Middlemarch:"Only I was afraid you would be getting so learned," said Celia, regarding Mr. Casaubon's learning as a kind of damp which might in due time saturate a neighboring body.<a href="https://www.literaturepage.com/read/middlemarch-283.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.literaturepage.com/read/middlemarch-283.html</a><a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theLibrary</a>

wrackWoke before dawn to a cool breeze through Wrack’s open hatches, the boat rolling gently. I’m taking advantage of the solitude to re-read my friend Jenni Fagan’s 2017 novel, The Sunlight Pilgrims.<a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theLibrary</a>

cathosReading Wayne Moore's 'Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy'.

wrackA simple map of early Polynesian/Melanesian migration voyages across the Pacific in open sailing canoes, without navigational instruments, relying on centuries (and thousands of sea miles) of memorised data — observations and experiences shared orally and via intuitive visual references, like stick and shell charts of archipelago swell patterns.This map is just an outline — barely a preçis — of Pacific peoples' extraordinary achievements, which are equal to those of any of Europe's much-vaunted sailor-explorers.Evening reading: David Lewis's We, The Navigators (1972).<a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theLibrary</a>

wrackDon't ask me why it took so long for me to pick up Annalee Newitz's extraordinary 2017 novel, Autonomous, but now that I have, I can't shake myself loose from it. The last work of speculative fiction to grab me like this was William Gibson's Pattern Recognition, back in 2003.Come to think of it, there's an unlikely commonality — and not just in style — between Gibson's protagonist, the brand-savant Cayce Pollard, and Newitz's underground (and underwater) pharma' pirate, Judith 'Jack' Chen.<a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theLibrary</a>

wrack" ...it took the war to teach it, that you are as responsible for everything you saw as you were for everything you do. The problem was that you didn’t always know what you were seeing until later, maybe years later, it just stayed stored there in your eyes..." – Michael Herr[from Dispatches, 1977]<a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theLibrary</a>
