You know that science fiction trope about dangerous forbidden zones that warp reality? I think they're symbolic. There's a reason why themes become tropes. Must be something on our minds...

On August 15, 1980, Stalker debuted in Finland. Here’s an original portrait of Alexander Kaidanovsky!

Just got through season one, and I hope I'm not spoiling anything....But I genuinely believe #From is based on #RoadsidePicnic

New instance, new #introduction part 2 (reposted from my previous instance):

#7Books is agony, so #14books it is:

— #Imajica by Clive Barker
— #Orlando by Virginia Woolf
— #GoodOmens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
— #JonathanStrangeAndMrNorrel by Susanna Clarke
— #TheSouthernReachTrilogy by @jeffvandermeer
— #DearSenthuran by Akwaeke Emezi

Ok, I fibbed. One last go-to comfort re-read: the #Discworld series, also by Terry Pratchett (Is listing an entire series cheating? I can't possibly pick one. Sorry not sorry.)

I haven't Read #RoadsidePicnic in about 15 years, and on someone's mention of it, it seems like a good thing to buy with one of my remaining Audible credits. I look at it. It's narrated by Robert Forster. Talk about an easy sell.

Very exciting package arrived today
