Time to start posting books again. I’ve sort of lost track of numbers. My favorite fiction author of my teenage years was Ursula LeGuin, middle years, John Fowles, and now Guy Gavriel Kay. All changed me in their own way.

“Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.” #bookchallenge day 4. (My favorite theory of consciousness. It could mean that we have a practical path to machine consciousness.)
