Day 19: Analog
📺 Servant (2019) - ★★★☆☆
A good show. Relies pretty heavily on creepy mood, rather than plot, and dark humour.
Finished reading: The Extended Mind by Annie Murphy Paul is full of great content. I was much more cerebral in my youth and have been externalizing thought much more productively recently. This book helps confirm the approach and adds new techniques 📚

Finished reading: The Last Druid by Terry Brooks. I’ll confess to reading this only to finish off the entire Shannara collection. This is the fourth book in the The Fall of Shannara series and much better than the middle two, which seemed far too rote. The original series is still my favourite, though I also quite liked The Genesis of Shannara trilogy. 📚
🎵 Citizen of Glass - Agnes Obel - ★★★★☆
Haunted by faeries

Lucy is done for the day 💤
Finished reading: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is really good. I enjoyed the characters, world building, and narrative structure. I’m curious to read the next book, once I’ve finished a few other books in the reading queue📚
I found a new favourite Tequila at a tasting last night: El Tesoro Añejo
I’m looking forward to another season of The Joy of Why podcast. Great science content and Steven Strogatz is an enthusiastic host
Finished reading: The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal is a fantastic alternative history of the space race. The sexism and racism in the story is infuriating (which is exactly the point). I’m looking forward to reading the next book📚
