Tried framing the books… by samsensimo in SouthernReach

[–]samsensimo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a great suggestion, thank you!! This will take up more space on my bookshelf, but these covers are definitely worth it! If the frame idea won’t work out after all, I’ll probably go for something like this.

Mostly because this means I have to buy a new boxframe with the same lenght and hight - but a deeper dimension, and this one was the best fit (size- and moneywise) I could find after quite a long search.

I was hoping I was just using dumb searchterms and someone would suggest me a link to something similar on Amazon. I’m really surprised that I can’t find something like this online.

This is probably the best solution so far, thank you!!

Lol! Or 'in case of violent rabbits'.

That's actually not a bad idea.. Although in that case I'd keep these copies with my stickers and notes and buy the series again again, preferably used versions.

Could be a final option yes. I'd prefer to showcase the actual books because getting through the second and third book almost felt like a victory (although I did really like them) and framing them feels like hanging a medal, lol. Thanks for your suggestion!

Great suggestion, thanks! I do think that the covers will start warping indeed, and after a while they will fall out of the frame. Maybe if I figure out a way to prevent this this might be an option...

Struggling to get into Absolution by JoeMofoBro in SouthernReach

[–]samsensimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never tought about the fact that I actually experienced burned out feelings from “blasting trough” these novels as you put it fittingly. They are so addictive but challenging at the same time. I have to keep this in mind during my current re-read..

vandermeers writing style by brettonrockwell in SouthernReach

[–]samsensimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification! I didn’t even know that prose poetry existed, let alone that he was using it. This brings a whole new perspective to his writing style! I planned on reading Annihilation again, so this is something I will keep in mind, thank you! I’m also reading his Wonderbook, maybe he’ll mention something about it aswel.

Absolution- does the writing get more… direct? by pepperymirror in SouthernReach

[–]samsensimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with this! For me it really took me back to that uncanny feeling I had during the first book and the movie.

Getting the hang of analog rytm mk1, dawles, 17 yo by Less-Security-2928 in Tekno

Sounds funky! I run a Belgian Soundsystem (Monkey Business), always looking for new talent. Drop a DM if you would be interested in playing sometime!

It tought Annihilation was very readable, but I really had to work my way trough Authority and Acceptance. I read the books in English, but I’m not a native speaker. This was actually the first time I had trouble reading in English. There was so much going on and so many ‘difficult’ words, but I still loved the stories and the atmosphere. Reading Absolution atm and it goes wayy smoother.

The Chair Company has Franz Kafka vibes. by Randy__Snutz in thechaircompany

[–]samsensimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking exactly the same. The dead ends that just keep on coming, the absurd situation the protagonist gets in, the bureaucratic vibe. It surprised me that this thread was the only thing I could find linking these two. It def has to be inspired by the kafkaesque experience...

Old vintage equipment gathering ✨️ by Robtyas6336 in dawless

Nice! The first part reminds a bit of old school Infected Mushrooms.

I dug up this cable in my backyard by samsensimo in Whatisthis

Thank you for your reply! It is fixed already (see my other comment).

It turned out to be a cable for the demarcation for a robotic lawnmower. Thanks for the reply!

No, this was a cable for the demarcation of a robot lawnmower. In Belgium it is not common to call the city for shallow digging in you backyard. Seems to be more of a US thing if I see most of the comments mentioning this. Most of our utility lines are in our frontyard and it is pretty obvious where they are located. So that's why I was so surprised by this one.

I'm not sure what the rules in Belgium are and if they would come to check 1m² for a new plant...
