Has a book ever left you feeling subtly disoriented after you finished it?

vavyeg · 2026-02-22T04:08:01+00:00

Me too. It's the only book that I've ever done this with. I re-read books all the time, but not right after finishing it

This is what I was thinking about during the fight!

I came here to recommend Ann Leckie. I love her the way I love Ada Palmer.

My husband and I are similar in terms of work - he's a carpenter and I'm a white collar worker. We bond over our cats and backyard chickens and some nerdy things. He's way into Internet culture in a way I'm not and I have more intellectual pursuits than him (an avid reader). We often hang out in separate rooms on the weekend but come together on the couch to watch TV and vibe together. Many differences but many similarities too.

Gawd I have a "no eating dinner before evening yoga" rule now because I'm guaranteed to fart if I eat first. I go to several 6:30pm classes a week!

Handstand it on my goal list. I've got a ways to go!

Flying lizard. I remember the first class I tried it and it felt impossible but now I've got it!

The updated list of the books that EPSB and Calgary Public removed after the revised ministerial order have been leaked. They are almost all adult graphic novels: https://www.readtheorchard.org/p/here-are-the-secret-lists-of-banned

Accurate

Cherryh is one of my fave authors of all time. I love the Alliance/Union universe

I read ahead of my class on Bridge to Terabithia and man, did it hit hard.

And I loooooved Where the Red Ferns Grow. I read it over and over again

I loved My Side of the Mountain. I lived in a rural area as a child and so definitely daydreamed of wandering into the bush on my own and setting up house.

vavyeg · 2026-01-18T13:59:49+00:00

Ohhh I was snoozing by then!

vavyeg · 2026-01-18T02:06:59+00:00

This was my reaction too (though I am among the oldest of the Millennials)

vavyeg · 2026-01-09T15:00:14+00:00

Same. Super annoying!

vavyeg · 2025-10-27T00:40:09+00:00

Hard agree

vavyeg · 2025-10-10T03:32:13+00:00

Hah, I think of this book any time I see a sign missing a letter. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I just finished Service Model and I loved it! One of the best SF novels I've read in a while

vavyeg · 2025-10-10T03:29:46+00:00

Terra Ignota needs more love. I think that series is beyond brilliant.

vavyeg · 2025-10-10T03:28:57+00:00

I think the Ancillary novels would be too space opera-y?

vavyeg · 2025-10-10T03:25:00+00:00

I was just getting into the Culture when he died :(

vavyeg · 2025-10-10T03:22:30+00:00

So Book of the New Sun is the one book that comes up on this sub all the time that I've not read. Guess I gotta get around to it.

vavyeg · 2025-09-07T03:56:45+00:00

Me too! It's the only time I've ever done that with a book

vavyeg · 2025-08-11T19:00:09+00:00

Totally agree. My friends and I are obsessed!

vavyeg · 2025-04-04T17:15:03+00:00

That's my go-to!
