2. I finished re-reading The Postman. Enjoyed it. A lot more complex stuff going on ...

I liked the movie. Keeping to the postman/mail delivery part of the story, along with the Holnists ( 🤔 think Proud Boys like, possibly) which continues on, but mixed in with 3 major other plot lines would have been way too for a single movie. A ?mini-series might have worked.

The extra interesting discovery for me was remembering a sort of transcendental scene all this years. I only got one detail right, but that memory was a reason I wanted to re-read it. It was a very satisfying scene, and also surprisingly it happened way later in the story.

I loved the fictional part of the book - Existence. the crystals; what a wild invention. The asteroid belt discoveries were quite amazing!

Never read The Kiln People and The Practice Effect.

I re-read books, as well as new ones. My copy of Existence got messed up. Going to see if it's an ebook. Might rebuy it at some point.
