掟上今日子の1話目と、福家警部補の1話目を読みました。面白い!
特に福家警部補のコロンボ形式(倒叙式ミステリー、先に犯人がわかっている形式)がドキドキしてたまらんわ〜

"A blue-gloved hand thrust toward her and, with some hesitation, she took it. His grip was firm, the shaking relentless. Shaking his hand while wearing the rubber gloves felt like being the giblets inside a plastic bag inside the arse cavity of a turkey. Kesta could feel her bones collide."

from One Yellow Eye by #LeighRadford (2025)

The front cover of the novel One Yellow Eye by Leigh Radford, with both title & author's name in a large yellow font. Inset image shows an artistic rendering of a tope-coloured female head & shoulders with a large opening at the neck. Snakes writhe both within the neck opening and above the head. A blurb at the top right corner by NYT best selling author Olivie Blake states, "Compulsively readable. A page-turning descent into all that is lovely and grotesque about grief, obsession, and love."

最近Matrixに人が増えてきた感じもあるし、
これがさらに加速したりして。

Je lis toujours The Land in Winter, d'Andrew Miller (il faut attendre la moitié du bouquin pour que ça devienne vraiment intéressant).

J'ai lu Amour, fascisme & CDD, de @unpied parce qu'on a toujours besoin d'un peu de gaité. ^^

Et je commence Grains noirs, d'Alexandre Hmine, traduit de l'italien par Lucie Tardin (aux éditions Zoé, que j'aime tant).

nonfiction #NowReading Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left, by Eoin Higgins. I got the audiobook from my library as soon as I knew it existed, because I remembered Mefites lauding journalist Matt Taibbi at one point, then a few years later being gobsmacked at Taibbi's apparent 180 degree switcheroo.

Turns out that (among other motivating factors) Taibbi got freaked out by #MeToo. Boo hoo, you selfish prick. Anyway, this book also gave me a better understanding of Substack's Nazification; the billionaires' proposed utopian city in Solano County CA (it's not built yet; my climate colleagues there have been organizing against it for the past year); and how rightwing populism is an inversion of power dynamics (billionaires and their lackeys are plucky underdogs struggling against the domineering hordes of us ordinary folks, apparently).

#nowreading Batman Revolution (or Revolut?on as printed on the cover) by John Jackson Miller

I enjoyed the first, so let's get started on the sequel. With the alternate spelling on the cover, this book will feature the Riddler.

These books are set in-between the Tim Burton films, so Jim Carrey's Riddler from Batman Forever doesn't really matter.

Apparently Robin Williams was asked to play the Joker and later the Riddler but he says he was used as bait to get the bigger stars to sign on. 😞

#nowreading Batman Resurrection by John Jackson Miller

I have been gripped, just a day or so later, I've finished it!

It was a really good story and I had to remember this is a book, not a film. Several events occurred where I thought, this is the big finale, but I was only halfway through the book. If this was a film it would be four hours, probably.

Plenty of little nods to the film's its sandwiched between and overall, really enjoyable.

Maybe, tomorrow, I'll start the sequel.
