So far a useful inventory of emotions- but i wish every chapter had more examples and techniques for coping. Holding out hope for a huge bibliography
ansate commented on Red Side Story by Jasper Fforde
It is very Jasper Fforde to take an idea that is on the surface ludicrous, and make it “real” where i care about the characters, and the logic of the world holds together, and terrible and beautiful and funny things happen

Look, the romance part is cute and all, but i bawled about the first woman president being a democrat from Texas. Fully caught up in the reelection drama too.

It’s nearly a parody of a thriller. Hopefully will be kind of fun. Weirdly i would be all for it as a movie!

Whoa. That was a wild ride. Overall i liked it, tho there are a some bits where you just suspend disbelief and roll with things. Not much on the likable characters front. But a puzzle and an introspection on what it means to be human.
