Stone Gods
Stone Gods | Jeanette Winterson
7 posts | 19 read | 8 to read
Playful, passionate, provocative, and frequently very funny, Jeanette Winterson's The Stone Gods is a story about Earth, about love, and about stories themselves. On the airwaves, all the talk is of the new blue planet--pristine and plentiful, as our own was 65 million years ago, before we took it to the edge of destruction. Off the air, Billie Crusoe and the renegade Robo sapien Spike are falling in love. Along with Captain Handsome and Pink, they're assigned to colonize the new blue planet. But when a technical maneuver intended to make it habitable backfires, Billie and Spike's flight to the future becomes a surprising return to the distant past, and they discover that "everything is imprinted forever with what once was."

Mehso-so

This was between a so-so and a pick for me. It's a story about repeating climate catastrophes. I think I liked it because I sympathized with the author's perspective so much, but there wasn't much of a story about the protagonists as such.

(I had no idea what clifi was before this reading challenge. My initial thought was something a lot naughtier.)

My tentative TBR for the spring quarter of #booked2019 . 🌷🌷🌷

They are all books I own. I've already read Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson for my #clifi selection, but I haven't posted a review on Litsy yet!

andrew61 A great choice, i saw her interviewing john Irving last year at the Whitworth and she did a great job and I loved 'why be happy.... ' and ' oranges... '. I always plan to read for widely in her works. 8y
Oryx @andrew61 The tagged book and "weight" are the only ones I've read so far, so need to getting reading more of hers. Hoping she'll be at the Manchester literature festival this year again. I've missed her talks last couple of years unfortunately. John Irving, nice. I'll have to keep an eye on what's on at whitworth! 8y

#24in48 is over, and I had a great time! I spent 11 hours and 49 minutes reading this past two days, which I'm very pleased with. The books, in the order I read them: Not Working, Mandela, Eligible, The Stone Gods, Graffiti, and Poems for Eva. My favorite was definitely Eligible, though Poems for Eva and The Stone Gods were also excellent. I'm hoping this weekend spurs me to continue reading more - happy reading!

Pickpick

This book is about the stories that repeat themselves, whether it's the bond between soulmates or the larger story of humanity. A clever, beautifully written apocalyptic saga.
