![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first book, The Just City, is about Apollo and Athena’s involvement in gathering scholars and philosophers throughout history, plunking them on an island, and trying to set up Plato’s Republic in reality. I could gush for days and years, but I am on the third book of Walton’s Thessaly trilogy, and I’d rather be reading that, honestly. It’s sort of like when you meet someone who just gets you. ![]() Walton, like my all-time favorite author Diana Wynne Jones, is originally from Wales, and while I wouldn’t say they write alike, they both are certainly masters of creating a conscious, enthralling narrative. Each page was like a discovery, an old friend newly met, and like a really good lucid dream. I read Among Others about a month ago and I haven’t been so joyfully wrapped up in a book in ages. Have you ever heard of Jo Walton? If yes, we are in a fight, because you didn’t tell me about how WONDERFUL she is. I’ve discovered a number of fantastic books, and I need to yell about them more, obviously. Today I completed my 2018 Goodreads reading challenge! I was looking over the books I’ve read this year, and it occurred to me that I haven’t been blogging about them much, if at all. ![]()
