It took me a long time, but I finished it. This was a stellar read. People dream about floating cities and the Marsh Arabs of Iraq have been doing it for millennia.

Informative and NOT dry. Even funny, at times. I suppose I'm on team, "we're not yet ready to leave Earth", now

Always a favorite. What a lovely book. I've yet to find something as "cozy".
While I love the rest of the series, I always wish I could land back on the Wayfarer and see what the crew is up to. Maybe some day Becky Chambers will write a "sequel".

Isn't it interesting how Becky Chambers subverts storytelling tropes? There isn't an over-arching conflict, there isn't a "hero's journey" (eat your heart out, Joseph Campbell!) - there is simply a crew/family living their lives. Sometimes there is a problem to be resolved, but, generally, the book is about plopping oneself down and watching these people exist and be decent to each other. I love it, and I love how it demonstrates the range of what fiction can be.

Picked up @helenczerski@fediscience.org's book from our local bookshop. I'm very excited. My marine geologist aunt was always very grumpy when my father and I geeked out over space exploration. "There's an entire ocean right here, unexplored!" she'd explain, pointing out that the money dedicated to marine exploration was a fraction of that dedicated to space. Now I have a chance to settle in with a good book and do some learning of my ocean.

Groningen adopted a hierarchy of prioritization for transit infrastructure decision-making. Pedestrians over cyclists, cyclists over public transit, public transit over cars. Whenever modes of transport don't work together smoothly, this hierarchy helps decision-making.
