Watching the end credits scroll of a documentary about the collapse of Enron, and @rigger correctly identifies from the other end of the house that Tom Waits is singing an #Ogre song:
🎵 God’s Away on Business 🎵

My thoughts on the finalists for #TheHugoAwards for 2023, in the Best Novella category: #books #bookstodon (1/n):
In #OGRES by #AdrianTchaikovsky, Torquell is the wastrel son of a village mayor, but his occasional fistfights and mischief are tolerated because he's generally likable. This temper causes a disaster when Lord Peter, the ogre who owns the village, comes for a visit: Torquell gets his father in fatal trouble and has to flee,. Sounds like a fantasy story about revolution, right? The revolution part is correct -- the fantasy part is not. A previous book by Tchaikovsky, ELDER RACE, also bridged SF and fantasy in a similar way. It was a page-turner for me. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Ogres/Adrian-Tchaikovsky/Terrible-Worlds-Revolutions/9781786185280

@Sharr0w @aptshadow I second the recommendation for #Ogres. It’s great. But so is everything else of his that I’ve read.
I read #Ogres by @aptshadow in a day. It started as an odd fantasy book but turned out to be a dystopian work on hyper capitalism & oligarchy. Very much recommend. #Books #AmReading #Booktodon
