Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

This Challenge has Two Levels.
Level One: Read one book for each time period: Past, Present, and Future. You decide when Present is, such as present year, present decade, present century. Then having decided that, you can choose what is Past or Future in comparison to the Present.
Level Two:Read one book with each time description: In Time and Outside of Time. Some examples? Anything set In Time such as music or poetry or sequence or anything else that works for you. Outside of Time such as timelessness of beauty or art or philosophy or where time is nonlinear or anything else that works for you. (I'm thinking timelessness of Shakespeare.)
Enjoy!

The title sounds very interesting .

Reading Octavia Butler requires thoughtfulness, so I start the novel and audiobook combo tonight. Looking forward as I have this year read the preceding novel Parable of the Sower.

I enjoyed it!

I'll count Erebos as the one for the Present. With it I'm done with the challenge, hurray

And I am done too.
My last read: Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler.


I needed that little extra pushnto finish this book. Was worthwhile and time consuming, both. 3 or 4 stars, not sure which.
