@friend_of_satan @recarsion yes, I’ve been using Windows 11 as a guest OS in VirtualBox for two months, after I switched to Linux as my main OS. I like it much more than dual booting.

Just finished Nick Harkaway's superb, melancholy, violent private detective SF , Titanium Noir, which was on @tithenai's NYT best 10 books of 2023. Would absolutely recommend!

I realised that most of the books or stories I really enjoyed this year could be categorised with the hashtag , but I don't (didn't?) see myself as a cozy reader (one of my fave book is Gravity's Rainbow). So I wondered what is going on and started to read up on the definition of cozy . This blog post I found especially helpful, because of the nuanced discussion of the low/high stakes dynamics.

@Jennifer @Tinido @bookstodon Gravity's Rainbow is great, but it has a lot of pandemonium!

So here is a question to the @bookstodon community: what is the best book you have read this year?
