19. Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley (1818)
I’d never read it before. This is a book of hope and despair. Ouroboros. Goodness in the world, or ruin? One to feed the other? Also a marker on a road: do not proceed further, turn back. Haunted and full of dread in the end, yet so bright. A riddle. A koan.

I have heard that we’re in the age of being more aggressive, speaking louder, being more extreme. Can I not be that please? I want to just be what I am and see if that works, and not blare in a world that’s already deafening

Kirby Air Riders Is Absolute Chaos, and I Love It That Way
It's not Mario Kart, but this second Switch racer proves its worth with a lot of rapid absurdity.
