“NYT: What books are you embarrassed not to have read yet? TEJU COLE: I have not read most of the big 19th — century novels that people consider “essential,” nor most of the 20th-century ones for that matter. But this does not embarrass me. There are many films to see, many friends to visit, many walks to take, many playlists to assemble and many favorite books to reread. Life’s too short for anxious score-keeping. Also, my grandmother is illiterate, and she’s one of the best people I know. Reading is a deep personal consolation for me, but other things console, too.”

i recognize the irony of saying someone stole from dan simmons knowing that so much of the hyperion cantos is stolen inspired by john keats but simmons is so desperately in love with keats that i give it a pass

wait. did liu cixin beat for beat steal the concept of nanofiber & using it for a lattice to block a river from dan simmons' endymion? i wonder who simmons stole it from
