What skills are you bringing to the Pagebound Apocalypse Commune™️?

I love asking this question as a party trick. Imagine the 🌋apocalypse🌋 has befallen us and all the Boundlings are living in a commune together. What skills, talents, and tomfoolery are you offering to the collective?

Are you: 🤔 a healer collecting herbs and making medicine for our booboos? 🤔 an archivist hoarding ephemera of our fallen civilization (“kids…this is an iPhone 17…”)? 🤔 the grumpy person who always votes no at the town halls?

I’m most definitely the community jester. Ring a bell and I’ll come running with levity, giggles, and something stupid to say. 🤡 cat jester persisting through horror with silliness

Share your Pagebound Apocalypse Commune™️ role (silly, serious, or somewhere in between) in the comments! ⬇️

This book is awesome. I haven't had thus fun reading a book in a while, man. I am not a big science-guy but this book is bringing it out of me. The amount of space videos I have consuming recently is certainly and amount. You can really tell that Andy Weir is passionate about this stuff. It carries over to Dr. Grace and to the reader. You get exited because Grace is exited. Also, the book is genuinley funny. Laughed out loud a couple times. A book I can't wait to reread.

The Deep

Rivers Solomon

The water-breathing descendants of African slave women tossed overboard have built their own underwater society—and must reclaim the memories of their past to shape their future in this brilliantly imaginative novella inspired by the Hugo Award nominated song “The Deep” from Daveed Diggs’ rap group Clipping.Yetu holds the memories for her people—water-dwelling descendants of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard by slave owners—who live idyllic lives in the deep. Their past, too traumatic to be remembered regularly, is forgotten by everyone, save one—the historian. This demanding role has been bestowed on Yetu.Yetu remembers for everyone, and the memories, painful and wonderful, traumatic and terrible and miraculous, are destroying her. And so, she flees to the surface, escaping the memories, the expectations, and the responsibilities—and discovers a world her people left behind long ago.Yetu will learn more than she ever expected to about her own past—and about the future of her people. If they are all to survive, they’ll need to reclaim the memories, reclaim their identity—and own who they really are.Inspired by a song produced by the rap group Clipping for the This American Life episode “We Are In The Future,” The Deep is vividly original and uniquely affecting.

Thoughts from 6% (page 25)

So far finding this book very hard to get into, which is a shame. Not fully sure why that is, perhaps the absence of a clear main character so far. Hopefully I'll get more into it soon.

The Bear

Andrew Krivak

From National Book Award in Fiction finalist Andrew Krivak comes a gorgeous fable of Earth’s last two human inhabitants and a girl's journey home. In an Eden-like future, a girl and her father live close to the land in the shadow of a lone mountain. They own a few remnants of civilization: some books, a pane of glass, a set of flint and steel, a comb. The father teaches his daughter how to fish and hunt and the secrets of the seasons and the stars. He is preparing her for an adulthood in harmony with nature, for they are the last of humankind. But when the girl finds herself alone in an unknown landscape, it is a bear that will lead her back home through a vast wilderness that offers the greatest lessons of all, if she can learn to listen. A cautionary tale of human fragility, of love and loss, The Bear is a stunning tribute to the beauty of nature’s dominion.

Absolution (Southern Reach, #4)

Jeff VanderMeer

Ten years after the publication of Annihilation, the surprise fourth volume in Jeff VanderMeer’s blockbuster Southern Reach Trilogy. When the Southern Reach Trilogy was first published a decade ago, it was an instant sensation, celebrated in a front-page New York Times story before publication, hailed by Stephen King and many others. Each volume climbed the bestsellers list; awards were won; the books made the rare transition from paperback original to hardcover; the movie adaptation became a cult classic. All told, the trilogy has sold more than a million copies and has secured its place in the pantheon of twenty-first-century literature. And yet for all this, for Jeff VanderMeer there was never full closure to the story of Area X. There were a few mysteries that had gone unsolved, some key points of view never aired. There were stories left to tell. There remained questions about who had been complicit in creating the conditions for Area X to take hold; the story of the first mission into the Forgotten Coast—before Area X was called Area X—had never been fully told; and what if someone had foreseen the world after Acceptance? How crazy would they seem? Structured in three parts, each recounting a new expedition, there are some long-awaited answers here, to be sure, but also more questions, and profound new surprises. Absolution is a brilliant, beautiful, and ever-terrifying plunge into unique and fertile literary territory. It is the final word on one of the most provocative and popular speculative fiction series of our time.

Book vs movie

I loved the movie but imo Ryland seems a lot... "stupider" in the movie than he does in the book. Obviously that's a side effect from not being able to follow his internal monologue and reasoning, but I feel like even considering that, they made him seem so much more incompetent. It made sense in the movie, like it wasn't a diminishing factor, but it made me a little upset 😂 like no, he's not that bad 😂
