I’m going to start a new book first thing in the morning when I wake up. What should it be? My criteria - fiction, engrossing, philosophical (by which I mean concerned about how to live well), well written. Recent reading: 3 body problem Flowers for Algernon Everything by Ursula le Guin

I just finished the island, it was wonderful, thank you! 1000 $degen. The levels of narrative and experience that it describes is phenomenal. The exploration of society and individual. The descriptions of psychedelic experiences. And to see how these ideas have permeated over the last 60 years. And fundamentally bringing to life our core existential paradox, whilst also offering a solution... it is wonderful. I've bought it for @jog I hope she reads it too. (tagging her in the hope this helps, because the book cover isn't exactly inviting!)

Am reading it! Enjoying the ideas too. Finding some of the concepts a bit shoe-horned into the narrative but clearly way ahead of its time.
