So @leifur mentioned this book to me last year and I forgot about it until I was rewatching a video on YouTube that mentioned the O.C. and had Ben McKenzie in the included clips, Leif mentioned the book again and now I'm going to read it. (I know, I know, I'm supposed to be reading more fiction, lalalala, this is fine!)

Le poème «ÉTAPE 4. Investir ton cash down en consultation psychologique» est très drôle. (Je ne sais pas s'il est vraiment supposé être drôle mais j'ai bien ri quand même.)

I've been jumping around a lot. Read the first couple chapters after the introduction, bits of chapter 5, bits of chapters 8 and 9, and am about to read chapter 16, the "Hemp Chapter."
This book is frankly a bit on the disappointing side. Needs more commentary on the "extinction" or climate/environment side of things. Also from time to time, it's hard to pinpoint exact passages, there are moments when a worrisome lack of awareness of disability solidarity/justice rears its head and undermines his arguments.
I'll probably read chapter 16, then the post covid-19 update (is Reese a covid denier? My own digging on the subject left it kind of up in the air) and then shelve this book, admittedly half-read, but I have other things to do.

This should be very short (?!?! I hope/think???) but I am looking forward to reading this, because toxic masculinity is an evergreen problem, but particularly green right now.

A really fun book, better than the first in a lot of ways. It stretches a ton of credibility so you do have to sort of... accept this is a very rosey look into the past (and into trauma, which despite what the poets will claim is not cured with the Power of Love). But the characters are compelling, and Radclyffe is no slouch as a writer, so it's fun. I liked Vance, a lot. Reminded me of a gay Blueberry but like... in a good way.

Beaucoup de petits moments drôles — j'ai aimé « le bord de l'apocalypse » dans l'introduction et dans la liste « Vingt-cinq choses qui prouvent que tu vis une crise du quart de vie » il y a des éléments très hilarants. Je ne connais pas la poète, donc je ne sais pas si c'est son premier recueil, mais il y a un petit je ne sais quoi qui me fais penser que c'est un premier recueil.

J'ai eu un petit moment ce matin où j'ai compris que je ne me souvenais plus de la dernière fois que j'ai lu un poème en français écrit après 1910 donc je me suis dit qu’il fallait qu'je corrige ça. J'ai trouvé ce bouquin sur le site de la BANQ, j'ai aimé le titre, on verra bien ce que ça donne!

Sigh. Reese is apparently one of those hemp Marxists, which is fine but exhausting. Also the dude is apparently a covid denier, according to a friend of a friend who knows him, so I might not be finishing this book apart from reading ch 5 and 12 for book club.

Need to read chapter 5 and 12 for a bookclub and might try to tackle more of the book, though it is a little on the dense side so I don't know if I have the energy for it.
