Read it a year or two ago. Haven't gotten around to the rest of the trilogy yet. Really loved the genetic hierarchy and bordered society stuff. That ending was pretty intense.

Yo check out this book called The Windup Girl similar setting sci fi book all about genetic and bio engineering type s*** won all the big sci fi awards the year it was released

I'll add it to the list.

i gotta get back to reading literature. feeling like an uncultured b**** rn

this should be pinned!

Finished The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy. I've read a handful of hardboiled stuff now, and this is easily the best of it. The characters are dynamic, the relationships shift in chaotic ways, he'll drop a nice bit of prose to keep it artsy. It's incredible how well he captures the era. Even better that he isn't held back from being gruesome like Carver or Jim Thompson were to an extent. I thought the conclusion was a bit overwrought, but he brings it back around with some emotional tie ups that make the convolutions of the plot besides the point.

I'm going to head straight into the #2 in the LA Quartet series as soon as I finish these nonficiton reads. Apparently his Underworld USA series is just as good.

Escape from Camp 14 is a great book about a defector from a North Korean prison camp. Really opens your eyes to how messed up that country is. If you know Korean, the person who the book is about has also written his own memoir.
