There are two kinds of problems: strong-link problems and weak-link problems.
Weak-link: quality depends on how good the *worst* things are
Strong-link: quality depends on how good the *best* things are

@questacon hey! I visited Questacon on the weekend and I'm hoping you can help me remember something? You have a screen (in 'Fundamental' maybe?) which overlays different patterns like concentric circles, hexagons, etc, to produce new patterns. What's the name of this effect?

🌏 If you leave the UK for more than 3 months you need to let us know. We'll work out if you have to repay while you’re abroad and how much.
There is a different repayment threshold depending on your country of residence.
Update your details ⤵️

It's already New Year in New Zealand. That's what happens when you have a woman Prime Minister who knows what she's doing. UK lagging behind again.

@mattyj612 A couple I've read in the last couple of years which might appeal. Biased towards slightly weirder fiction:
No One Is Talking About This - Patricia Lockwood
My Father's Diet - Adrian Nathan West
The Sellout - Paul Beatty
Anything by Ottessa Moshfegh, especially Eileen.

@mattyj612 I think it's useful to read Sally Rooney's books for what they say about the modern literary zeitgeist, but I also found them frustrating. A good stepping off point though to compare other books against though.
English
An update: I both enjoyed and was frustrated by Sally Rooney's books. I was transfixed by John Williams' Stoner. Most of all, Elif Batuman's books gave my brain a small but permanent jostle. Masterworks of observation and humor. Read The Idiot and Either/Or as fast as you can.

Move over "books whose title is the thesis", enter "novels that feel like real life". I am entering my fiction era. I am simple-minded, easily distracted, and like books with straightforward plots where it's mostly just people talking. I would appreciate your recommendations!
