i bought it solely for the cover. its a long read for something thats pretty much a kafkaesque (sorry) mystery but the twist is pretty unique. it holds your hand all the way through which is good because there are a lot of names that start with M or S, which can get confusing. theres an index in the beginning that is useful to look back to and every several chapters the protagonist recaps all the information he has. the whole story takes place over something like a week if i remember correctly. worth reading if you want to kill time with something more pedestrian. i love murder mystery when done right and this did it very well.

Non-fiction, but it tells the story of a failed Christian socialist utopia that a group of Australians tried to build in the 1890s in Paraguay. Fascinating story

>>10722474
As a cis man who often fantasises about his female alter ego, let me say that gender trouble is a privileged person's problem. There's no such thing as a trans person living in a slum or toiling on a field. More often than not they're poor urban souls who have been gyped by reddit and the liberal media into thinking that every single individual has a unique fleshed out purely positive identity just waiting to be discovered. No, there's nothing there. It's all illusion. You find being in a body disconcerting? So does everyone. Why do you think dualism exists? In short, get over yourself, you will never be as interesting as society has fooled you into thinking you are.
