Being There

It's a bit morbid, but "The Painted Bird" is phenomenol. Cockpit is also good in a perveted way.

I think that all of them are much better in Polish than English, anyway.

just finished ray loriga's 'tokyo doesn't love us anymore'. the beginning was crappy, but it got good and I ended up liking it. somewhat poetic sci-fi prose. reminded me of wong kar-wei movies.

"Dust Tracks on a Road" by Zora Neale Hurston

"Lysistrata" by Aristophanes --> very good but some of the translations strike me as very odd ie: 'like the lion on the cheese grater' 🙄

I'm reading "The Call of Earth" by Orson Scott Card. After that it'll probably be "The Fall" by Albert Camus.

Or I might just play more video games, I don't know
