    That reminds me of The Inverted World by Christopher Priest. Cool idea about a city on tracks that must always move otherwise suffer spacetime distortions. Thats the only interesting part about the whole thing.

      Yeah, that’s pretty similar, the main difference being the setting. For me, I can only really tolerate books if they’re science fiction for some reason.

      But yeah, that book was so bad it honestly makes me want to take a crack at the idea myself and see if I can do it better.

      I know I probably can’t, I have very little writing experience. But it’s gotta be at least worth the attempt.
