Hello all! Today... was a journey... The Macau Government just implemented some new Covid-related policy three days ago. Essentially, it went from a total draconian control of must-quarantine-if-coming-in-from-overseas and daily itinerary reporting and check-ins for tracing possible contamination... to... a total laissez-faire "even if you got

Thanks! My Dad's feeling good. He's complaining and all that (my reply comment to the above says it all... he's able to scream schreichlich and scheitz about stuff on a video call).
I enjoy Kazuo Ishiguros books because they sort of give me this creepy uneasy feeling LOL. The Remains of the Day was so far the most normal of them. There was another about a detective guy looking for his mom (I forget the actual book title at the moment) that was also normal-ish. Never Let Me Go gave me uneasy feelings and that reveal was what I liked best... the bone-chilling and hair-raising at the horror when I finally understood what those people were.
I'm getting similar feels with Klara and Sun, but while it's pretty out there that she's a robot, there are parts of the book that makes me confused. Like, so far I get Josie is the human, but then there are parts where it says Josie (or other people) is jumping from screen to screen and then I'm slightly confused as to why. But I'll read on, I'm half way through.
edit to add: oh and I tested this morning and I'm still negative. Surviving another day!

I agree about the creepy feeling. His books are intriguing.
How did you like Klara and the Sun in the end?
I don't remember that part, but I think it might refer to the fact that the robots see things in panels? Their vision works differently.
I didn't have too much trouble understanding their world with little context, and I imagine it's clearer when you read the book a second time.
