This book is awesome. What if we found an ancient interspacial teleporting building. Well, it would ruin the cars, planes and travel industry and cause total global economic collapse if we figured out how it werked.

That and a shitton of other subtelties about other lifeforms and the nature of science in general.

I can feel my mind expanding as I’m reading.

Incredible.

UPDATE 11/6: What a concept. This guy is good. I wish i was still reading it. But for my final flight home being delayed four times it lasted me almost the entire Australian trip.

The Brief History of the Dead // Kevin Brockmeier

It’s strange how much life is in a book while you read it and the second you finish, it’s as if all that life has drained out.

This by the way is the strangest writer and book yet. He is basically showing off how much minutae he notices in day to day life. He also is showing off how trippy stream of consciousness he can be. And I must say he is fucking good at both.

There’s a problem with consistency here where one minute it’s surviving the Arctic and the next it’s pages of an elderly couple musing about their unremarkable relationship. There’s also the girl riding in the giant dog’s fur ‎with the marble formations dripping between the shafts only to dissolve into the sun. Or whatever.

I used this book to put myself to sleep. It was phenominally interesting and equally boring in turn. Strange. Truly.
