thats awesome! any fiction you like or are you more of a non-fiction person?

I'd say I read about 80% nonfiction, and most of the fiction I read is in graphic novel form. not that I dislike fiction! recently I've been trying to get back into reading fiction books that came out after, like, 2010. but it's slow going.

it seems from your blog that you're on the hunt for books to read, but it's highly likely that my favorite fiction novel, Terry Pratchett's Night Watch, has likely already crossed your eyes, as well as other top level comic recs (fma, dunmesh, witch hat atelier). still, I can recommend Naoki Urasawa's Monster for a thriller/suspense series you're somewhat less likely to have already been recommended, along with Master Keaton by the same author, which explores some of the same themes about humanity, ingenuity, and the aftermath of conflict in a more lighthearted story. or if you're interested in seeing how far an artist is allowed to go in cape comix before editorial fiat, read arkham asylum: a serious house on serious earth with author commentary. (a fair warning for certain choices made depicting mental health disorders.) for independent comics, e.k. wearer's landmark tj and amal remains the platinum standard for telling the story you want to tell, authorwise.

for non-graphic print fiction, still drawing from my cryogenically frozen-at-2010 knowledge bank, I also still reread the anthologies Who Can Save Us Now and Machine of Death. I have an incredibly soft spot for short story/anthology being the highest/purest form of speculative/genre fiction, likely just due to how the tradition has been inherited. at some point I'm going to retrieve and read through a promised collection of Heavy Metal (métal hurlant).

[im-a-goat-in-disguise]

whats the most beautiful song youve ever heard

"I get around" (Beach Boys) and "Mr. Blue Sky" (Electric Light Orchestra) are the two songs I automatically think of when I consider what I think "good" songs are. Idk why but I can't really think of any songs I'd consider particularly beautiful,just ones that feel nice to listen to

[tskumoyuuma]

Is the natural state of the universe quiet or chaos

I guess it's chaos, even the things that seem to be the stillest are constantly changing at their own rhythm

[bugstung]

Hmm is the natural state of the universe quiet or chaos

Chaos, it's how it started and how it will probably end

[powpowhammer]

most influential book in your life? or if thats too personal then whats the best book youve read?

despite having a thing in my header saying I'm askable, I don't get asks from (relative) strangers that often, so this is great. unless you're a bot or trying to dox me, in which case, I will be sad. but otherwise!

the most influential book in my life is atul gawande's better, which, through changing my understanding of the scope of health interventions, diverted me from lab wetwork microbiology into public health epi. it's also just really good; it's unfair that some people can doctor and write.

Wait. I feel soo stupid rn. You can hit a POST LIMIT?

Yeah! I think it's 250 (reblogs count towards that number)
