I'm actually thinking of this like Byron the Bulb, so my brain is doing a big crossover event! 🐋🚀

Finally saw One Battle After Another.
Thinking about it as being based on a Pynchon novel and wondered if any of my old Gravity's Rainbow peeps had thought to share?
📖🚀
First thoughts: the paranoia is def there.
And the names - while not the same in the novel - certainly felt Pynchonian, lol.

Starting a new bit of fun and spotted a familiar name here at the beginning. Hadn’t realized this book was about the events involving Pynchon’s ancestor.

Sir, a second completed novel has been reported. 🚀(Also, I'd love to hear what GR readers have to say about Shadow Ticket and One Battle After Another.)

The Movie of the Year Is Here
Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie is a masterpiece years in the making that’s somehow arrived right on time.

Another reason why I appreciate my invisible 🐋🛖💐🌌🚀🌰 co-readers! Time to re-up that card if you haven’t already.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

For my 🚀folks, a quick thread on Mason & Dixon. Pynchon's Slow Ticket drops soon, so I am reading lots of Pynchon to prepare. M&D is a sibling to GR in this thread.

Anyway, giant tome all about how easily nerds can get roped into building the Death Technologies simply by presenting the work as a series of interesting brain problems to produce better efficiencies.

I have eight thousand things on my list of things to do but just had the terrible thought that Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities might be a fun little read for us.
At some point.

I was thinking about ALL the comments during our 🚀 reading.
Read whatever you want in public. I did cover up the cover of a German translation of the American classic Maus that I am reading - but the cover is something very upsetting, so it is justified.

Is it OK to read Infinite Jest in public? Why the internet hates ‘performative reading’
Posts mocking strangers for cracking open classics have become popular. So where are we supposed to read them?

As a reminder, #BSBookclub's readalong of Jorge Luis Borges' short story collections Ficciones and The Aleph starts tomorrow!
Let me know if you'd still like to join in! And especially this time, feel free to join throughout July. There's no way to truly be behind with short stories!

Welcome, July Borges readers! Below is the reading schedule. Perhaps controversially, I've omitted page numbers and instead used story names, as we're unlikely to all be reading from the same collection, translation, or in the same language. Let me know if you need additional navigation cues. 🪞

Locutus of Borges July schedule for folks in other feeds. I'm not even going to try to remember all of them at this point, but these are some I remember/that seem active/that perhaps have some crossover appeal.

I've set up a feed and think I've added everyone who has already expressed interest. If I haven't said, "Added!" to you yet and you'd like to join in, just let me know.
You can find the Locutus of Borges feed at bsky.app/profile/soso... and can post to it using #borges or 🪞.

I'm leaning toward doing Ficciones during the first half of July and The Aleph and Other Stories during the second, with a few days space between the two. That way people can participate in either, or both (or neither)! There will also be break days within the two reading periods. 🐋💐🚀💯🌌📖

I'm seeing 5 of us, at least, who'd be up for Borges in July. I think that's enough to merit me making up a spreadsheet! Now, the question is which stories to read. 🐋💐🚀💯🌌📖

I see Makers has a parable that touches on Don Quixote, which could be a fun crossover for 🫏 readers!

I have a collection of all his fiction and was particularly pointed toward The Aleph and Makers. @heygaryc.bsky.social has Labyrinths, which has some of both plus other stories.
What's accessible for everyone else? Already on your shelf or available at your library or easily purchased?

Have we decided on anything to read in July or August, #BSBookClub? I picked up a collection of Borges stories on the recommendation of a friend. I've never read anything he's written before, but his work was described to me in a way that made me think of this group. Any interest? 📖

For those who observe: when Thomas Pynchon met Brian Wilson: "Pynchon wasn’t very articulate. He was gonna sit there and let you talk while he listened. So neither of them really said a word all night long. It was one of the strangest scenes I’d ever seen in my life."
