I’ve started Cyteen by CJ Cherryh - I’m the type of person that reads dozens of books at once but everything’s else gone on hold for Cyteen.
Amazing so far but can’t shake the feeling that I’ve read the plot in the beginning before. I think Cyteen is too long / complex for me to have read it as a teen and forgotten about it, but I have read the Alliance/Union series in pub order up to it. Is there another book in the series with clones that includes a dinner followed by + a river boat journey?
Occasionally do some proof-reading for them here, if I’m having an off day it makes me feel like I’ve at least done something useful lol - pgdp.net/
Edit: They also have some interesting books up - particularly dated nonfiction where you probably wouldn’t want to read the entire thing but 5 pages is kinda cool.
Brewed tea leaves, think they’re the best part. There’s a good number that are terrible (the cheap CTC blacks especially) but think most green teas and floral oolongs are great.
Weird to brew a cup of tea and then eat the leaves but there’s also some legit recipes with tea leaves. Burmese tea leaf salad and longjing shrimp are two. There’s also matcha.
Thanks for the newsletter tip!
It’s cool seeing that Martha Wells is getting a reissue of one of their earlier novels - I’ve read the Murderbot series and have been curious about their other works.
