When the work was done Gabriel would compose music for the bone trumpet, a lament for Vissarion played on an instrument made from Vissarion's femur. Vissarion would be pleased, he thought, that his remains had become music, leaping into life like Athene from the thigh of Zeus.
#QuotsyOCT21 day 5: skeleton
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

pick4/5⭐ It was rough to understand the world initially, but then I was hooked. I especially appreciated seeing a bisexual, polyamorous male lead, in a society where it's not an issue, in a book written 26 years ago. There's so much going on: worldbuilding, philosophy, science, characters, adventure, intrigue, etc. Everything balanced perfectly, I was invested 100%, & I enjoyed every minute.

Without knowledge you cannot choose wisely. And without wise choice, there is no freedom.

Why do I feel that ghosts are more real
Than these creatures of substance and matter?
Why does their song seem to drive me along
More than humanity‘s drivel and pratter?

One of those rare examples of something equally grotesque and lovely. #projectTBR #projectnew #TomeInfinityAndBeyond2018
"Propelled by violas and stinging electric guitar, presto followed andante, and so to finale."
One of the more beautiful fade-to-black lines alluding to sex I've read. #projectTBR #projectnew #TomeInfinityAndBeyond2018
