Needed a globally accessible place to jot down notes about books, films, music and the such.
Second book in the vita nostra series. While not as gripping as the first, still pretty good. More established because you know the world.
Did Portnov regret her fate? Did he feel guilty? It was an interesting question. Does a dictionary pine for a long forgotten word?
One of the most amazing books I have read in a long time. Hints of Steven Hall's "The Raw Shark Text".
Even though the backflap or a review had hinted at the outcome, it was an amazingly capturing book where a girl gets somewhat unwittingly enrolled in a "university of special skills" and slowly deconstructs herself by reading impossible texts, doing impossible mental exercises, to finally emerge as a Word from the Speech.
Here they are, eating and drinking. They are still almost entirely human; they have human psyches and human bodies. With time, during the learning process, they will come out of their human skin and become Words, tools of Speech, the bones of tendons of a highly complex text that is called reality. Words know no fear, and no death. Words are free and conform only to Speech. And Speech – Sasha knew this! – is the core of harmony.
