@picklish wow what a great setup. Looks really interesting. Thanks for writing this review!
Another Hopeful Fool started reading Best of World SF by Lavie Tidhar
Content warning warning about disturbing ending to one story
(This is in re to the second volume.)
Started reading a while ago, and recently picked it back up again. It kind of takes a dip in readability near middle which is why I set it down originally.
But now I'm really into it again! The last half of the anthology has some great stories.
Spoiler if you're sensitive to Black Mirror-esque fates-worth-than-death, skip the story: Sleeping Beauties by Agnieszka Hałas.

@f00fbooks I've heard excellent things, but never manage so much as to "read" this book, as to skim it sampling various pages and moving on.
Would love to hear someone else's experiences with it!

Another Hopeful Fool wants to read Best of World SF by Lavie Tidhar
Loved the first collection, and really enjoyed the second, and really pumped to dig into this third collection of short stories now
Another Hopeful Fool finished reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

What a beautiful story. The context builds and builds until culminating in a powerful resolution, that brings you full circle, back to the initial premise.
Another Hopeful Fool finished reading The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell
Kind of an odd, meandering, slice of life structure to it. Feels somewhat voyeuristic. The kind of book I wish more people would have read, but have a hard time recommending it

Seventeen year old Marcus and his friends are in the wrong place at the wrong …

Another Hopeful Fool wants to read Last and first men by Olaf Stapledon (Magnum Books)
One of the most succinct and accurate renderings of mankind's present state of mind and …
Heard about it because of an album Johann Johansson put out for the film adaptation.
Another Hopeful Fool finished reading Dune: Book one in the Dune Chronicles by Frank Herbert (Dune (1))
Contains appendices and extra material.
I really didn't like the afterword, but the book itself had me rapt from start to finish. A little archaic in the social and political constructs for my taste, but maybe that's the point.
Not exactly a pleasant world, Arakis. Still interested in the other books, but I'll be happy to spend my time somewhere else for a while.

Just picked this up from the local branch, and I'm excited. The movie based on this is one of my favourites, and I've never even spoken to someone who liked the movie, nevermind loved it, like I do.
Anyway, I've heard the book is good, so this promises to be a treat.
