04/28/2024 Weekly Classic Book

Post was moved to Drafts and published on Monday after a bit of indecision. Apologies for the confusion in your emails.

I’ve been getting into the habit of picking out something to read in my quieter moments (they do happen, I swear) for two reasons:

1: It’s good for me to see what styles were popular and how to learn from them.

2: I have all these books collecting dust, and that bothers me to no end.

For this week, I’m going to one of my pile that for some reason, people around me forget was a book before two shows were made for it: Battlestar Galactica.

Pulled this image from the Internet. My copy is rather worn.

I’m not strong in telling stories about AI, robots, and similar tropes, but this will be a fascinating setting to revisit. I haven’t read this book since I was about thirteen or so years old, though I have carried my copy around all these years.

I know that the shows will affect my biases, but I want to step into this story with as open a mind as I can bring. I think to reflect this, I’ll write a short review on Saturday.

Maybe it’ll be a routine that sticks! Let’s see…

Stay safe out there, folks.
