Ich muss gestehen, die These, dass die Menschheit einem Denkfehler Gottes entsprungen ist, scheint mir plausibler als die Schöpfungsgeschichte aller anderen mir bekannten Religionen.

Marc-Uwe Kling: "Qualityland", S.213

oh by the way this kind of goes without saying, but peter arbeitsloser no scopes the party within three business days by virtue of his unmoisturized sexless swag and the twitter mob that wants to get him canonized while winston smith keeps the pink dolphin vibrator without any sort of complaint until someone beats him to death with it.

I'm reading qualityland right now and saw there's an English translation which I obviously have to hunt down and compare to the original

Just One More Page's March Book Photo Challenge

March 1, 2023 - TBR This Month

I saw this pop up on my feed and I'm trying to find smaller ways to participate more in the booklr community. And I knew that I had a lot of books that I had acquired recently, and these are only part of what's on my to-be-read list, but ones that I figured I could read this month. Or, at least, make an attempt at reading. We'll see how far I actually get.

First on my TBR is The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. I have read this book before, but this time around it's for the Traveling Book Project being put in by @just0nemorepage and I'm excited for it!

The rest of the list is Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata, Poison for Breakfast by Lemony Snicket, The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi, A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers, The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah, Qualityland by Marc-Uwe Kling, Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley, and Book of Night by Holly Black.

What's your TBR for this month? Do you plan one? Or just get what feels like you'll most read at the moment? I usually do what I feel like I'll read, but I do have a rough idea of books I would like to read.

Anyway, here's what you should check out if you liked In the Lives of Puppets:

Qualityland and Qualityland 2.0 by Mark Uwe kling, although I'm not sure the second part exists in English yet. It has a similar premise as itlop it's basically a critique on capitalism and what the world would be like if we continued the trend of like algorithm advertising and same day delivery and AI the way we do right now. Don't worry tho, it's very funny and there is a group of found family misfits that will remind you of the forest family. Also and this also counts for the next one on this list, the main character just like Victor isn't your typical chosen one or anything, he just wants to live his life and "protect his small corner of the world" which is also what Tj Klune said about Victors character motivation (did you know i met TJ KLUNE last Friday? Because i did! And it was amazing.)

The hail Mary project by Andy Weir, which also kind of fits into the genre of dystopia science fiction but mostly the MC is literally just a guy. In the lives made you reflect on humanity? This will fuck with your head

The brave little toaster, just kidding don't, that movie traumatized me and my best friend TJ and also was inspiration for Puppets, which tj told me personally because we met, in person

His other books??? Are you kidding me? Don't tell me you haven't read the house in the Cerulean sea

i started reading in the lives of puppets and something about the "found family of machines that have something Wrong With Them" reminds me of QualityLand
