Have you ever made it almost halfway through a book until you realized that you have read the book before? Well, it just happened to me for the first time. No matter, I obviously don't remember it that well so I'll just read it to the end (again). I guess it can happen more and more after you reach a certain age. 😅

Moin! Brain is really slow with chatty social stuff today so I'm gonna share what book I am reading, feel free to join with the book you are reading, or the series you are watching :blobcat:

I am reading Our Man in Havana by Grahame Greene.

It has a Kafkaesque air to it with the everyday and mundane suddenly becoming sinister and surreal.

@Kitty I'm currently reading Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy. It's not an easy read but I love it so far, and McCarthy is one of my favourite authors.

@harriolkn@metalhead.club avatar

@neurothing @Kitty Yep! The Passenger was (even) more difficult, maybe because the language was more... complex, I guess. I mean, I'm quite fluent in English but it took me quite a while to finish The Passenger, whereas I've devoured Stella Maris almost completely in a few evenings.

I can't believe this song is 20 years old... The lyrics are political but since certain Maynard James Keenan tells you to go back to sleep, I thought this would somehow fit today's #TuneTuesday theme of #lullabies. 😅

I myself would never openly tell my students should get their copies of textbooks (for the few classes where I use textbooks instead of public domain texts) for free from online sites rather than shelling out scarce money to publishing houses who rip them off and make massive profits. . . But hypothetically, if they were to go to certain sites, they might just find what they're looking for. . .

@GregSadler Researchers and students shouldn't use anything like Sci-Hub either to access millions of research articles paywalled by commercial publishers with 30–40% profit margins due to the fact they don't pay the authors even though the actual research is funded by taxpayers.

Because of course you want to listen to Finnish-language sludgerock, here's Kantamus from Helsinki with their 2022 EP "Sun paras ei riitä koskaan" (or something like "Your best is never enough" in English).

The Guardian: "Half the staff at Bandcamp -- have been laid off following the recent purchase of the company by music licensing startup Songtradr."

Heartbreaking and infuriating...
