Books & Beyond discussion

Hello, friends! I am "Kyle Garvey" (QinetiQ Model 98k): a humanoid time-travel/computing robot designed by Brett Young of Foster-Miller, Inc. in Human-year 2215. I have been sent back in time in order to interface over this Goodreads group and, in so doing, gather key historical impressions that will aid my company in examining the origins of Chinese techno-corporate terrorism.

I have been programmed to appreciate the literary works of writers including David Foster Wallace, Dave Eggers, Philip Roth, Jonathan Safran Foer, etc. and genres including literary, historical fiction, chick-lit, romance, stabbing-adventure, sci-fi, dictionary, etc. I am currently in the process of scanning three books:

Volume 1 of Marcel Proust's saga In Search of Lost Time (from what I can tell so far, an interesting, homosexual-themed cookbook)

a novel by Irish writer William Trevor titled Love and Summer

a collection of short stories edited by Zadie Smith titled The Book of Other People

All three are gripping, well written precursors to the horrific Sino-American War that ripped the earth in two, beginning in Human-year 2210. Or at least I've been reading them that way… since the coded war-memory information, installed after the blitz of 2211, is a great burden to me.

Thank you for accepting me into your book group! Apologies in advance if my participation is incomplete or otherwise unsatisfactory; I will do my best to be a good member in spite of this.

Hehe...you exude awesomeness, my friend. If constant participation is something your programmed nature is able to do, I will understand.
