Werner Herzog's Memoir. One of the most perniciously fantastic combination of story, philosophy, and ecstatic truth I have ever read. If you know nothing of this madman, consider reading just to become enamored of the ways in which life presents deep mystery and intrigue.

Quick read—experiential, compelling, and memorable. Retrofuturist sci fi soup for the existential soul. Was it my favorite book of all time? Hardly. But it moved me and it was a perfectly lovely way to spend an afternoon. Am curious now to see Last Year At Marienbad, for which it served as the inspiration, as well as various direct film adaptations.

dawg. this book.
so full disclosure I’m not done yet but-
I’m about half way through and I’m loving the absurdity of it all. It initially felt really odd to read so much Christian lore that I was unfamiliar with (i genuinely felt too Jewish for this book), but once it kept moving forward, the premise really took hold and i found myself enveloped by the writing!! The prose is immaculate too :)
All in all, a great read (so far!) of surrealist fiction that keeps me on my toes.

Absolutely consumed this. If it's for you, it will really be for you. Engaging, thorough, great storytelling. At the very least, you'll finish the book and go, "well, now I know what all that's about."

Harboring that thought of "so and so would like this," as a ping in your mind can be immensely life-altering. How about being ahead of the curve. How about being the curve starter??

We only know a small portion of animals due to the media and those in our area, but there are so many unknowns. The platypus, axolotl, and echidna are just the tip of the iceberg. Here is a Kinkajou.
