This notebook is written by two people. Each block shows who wrote it, and we leave comments for each other at the bottom.

The rule

We take turns. One picks, the other reads it without complaining, then we swap.

My picks

• A Mão Esquerda da Escuridão: for the way a planet's weather becomes a culture.

• Duna: because everyone should be thirsty for 600 pages at least once.

• A Chegada: a film, but it counts. Bring tissues.

Picks from the other side of the table

• Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End: not a book, I know. The rule says nothing about anime.

• Outer Wilds: twenty-two minutes at a time. Tell me when you reach the ending.

• Dias Perfeitos: for a week when nothing needs to happen.

• Agree on what counts as "a book" (never)
