A Good Little Read

August 18, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

You can read this book in one sitting, it’s a nice short read and, I might add, a great one too.

I loved it and as I read, I was asking: Why did this man want to kill himself? How was he going to do it? And when I found out I was horrified, that sort of thing is my worst nightmare.

Well worth downloading and seeing for yourself.

It reads like an episode of Tales From the Crypt or The Twilight Zone. So many twists and turns. It could almost be a cautionary tale with a very surprising ending. I’m not going to talk about the plot, as I don’t want to give anything away. Must read!

I had this book in my Kindle for a while but when I finally decided to read it, I didn’t put it down until I finished it. I found myself rooting for the main character. Though a very short read, the plot and characters are fully developed. Loved it.

“To which I replied that my stories were by no means “statue” stories, immobile, fixed, permanent. They were assaults, and if they ruined her equilibrium only once, I’d settle for that. I wanted explosions, not cool meditative thinkpieces. There are other writers who do those in abundance; what I do is something else.”

Harlan Ellison

“What sometimes enrages me and always disappoints and grieves me is the preference of great schools of learning for the derivative as opposed to the original, for the conventional and thin which can be duplicated in many copies, rather than the new and powerful, and for arid correctness and limitation of scope and method rather than for universal newness and beauty, wherever it may be seen.”

“We had given AM sentience. Inadvertently, of course, but sentience nonetheless. But it had been trapped. AM wasn’t God, he was a machine. We had created him to think, but there was nothing it could do with that creativity.”

HARLAN ELLISON

I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

“There was the button that produced literature. And there were of course the buttons by which she communicated with her friends. The room, though it contained nothing, was in touch with all that she cared for in the world.”

E. M. Forster

The Machine Stops

“On a big moon it looked like that lake was full of water instead of dry salt. It looked like a different country that thing, a whole nother continent. Went as far as you could see, this empty white space. Like something you could step away into and get swallowed up and never find your way back.”
