Finished "Lincoln in the Bardo" would highly recommend, it's something else. Bit on the "avant garde" side but it's not anything tooo crazy.
About to begin "Solar Bones" by Mike McCormack, which is apparently one giant non stop sentence. Know nothing about it so here we go. Yeah after a ton of non fiction and easy reading I wanna get back into harder/experimental stuff, working back to my attempt at Infinite Jest and Gravity's Rainbow

Rereading Maps of Meaning by Jordan B. Peterson. Can't think of many other books as deep written during my lifetime. Highly recommended for anyone drawn towards Jung or mythological thought in general. In comparison I would rate this book way above The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell, a book which I also rated relatively high until I read this one.
The lecture series are also worth watching, there's a lot in the book that's not in the lectures and vice versa. |

Currently reading Arthur C. Clarke's SciFi classic The City and the Stars from 1956 (or Kadonnut menneisyys = 'The Lost Past', as the Finnish translation is titled).
I originally read it at the age of 13 or 14 (in 1983/4), but it almost feels like the first time since my memories of the story are rather thin. Amazing speculation about mankind's future beyond millions of years!

I'm reading (in Finnish, but the cover is similar) this highly acclaimed debut by an Argentinian woman living in Berlin. Very spellbinding and original - quite hard to make sense at first, but it gets more and more interesting. One might say it's an eco thriller. Fever Dream is the English title.
