📚 Finished reading: Perhaps the Stars by Ada Palmer, though “skimmed” may be the more appropriate word: it was so thick with references spanning several millennia that my regular reading pace and depth felt inadequate. Even so, the sense of completion was there, all loose ends tied up, all characters meeting their well-deserved faiths, to the point of it feeling unusually neat — so used am I with the post-modern storytelling that an actual epic story seemed off. That said, it is time to dust off my copy of The Illiad.
