https://www.booksns.com/59455/ Do non-Canadians read many Canadian books? #books Growing up in Canada, our teachers, libraries, and school boards did a lot to promote home grown literature to us kids.

English poet, author and critic Edmund Gosse died #OTD in 1928.
Gosse's father, Philip Henry Gosse, was a renowned naturalist, and their complex relationship is detailed in Edmund Gosse's memoir, "Father and Son" (1907), which remains one of his most famous works.

Finally finished The Great Game, which was superb. Moving onto something lighter. This writer is more my older brothers' age than me, so I may not know about the earlier stuff directly, but will have heard about it from them no doubt. 📖 #books#bookstodon@bookstodon
This is a stunning book about a repressive state and the personal and social disintegration that follows. It could be about horrors in the world now or in history and it makes it believable that the events could happen somewhere like Ireland where it is set or my own country the UK, given contemporary political processes. Rare example of where fiction matches up to the hype that it shakes you about the real world. https://oneworld-publications.com/work/prophet-song/#books

The first modern performance of Claudio Monteverdi's opera Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria occurred in Paris.
Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria is an opera consisting of a prologue and five acts (later revised to three), set by Monteverdi to a libretto by Giacomo Badoaro. The opera was first performed at the Teatro Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice during the 1639–1640 carnival season. The story is taken from the second half of Homer's Odyssey.
I finished the audiobook edition of Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick. It is an excellent overview on how LLMs will likely evolve and be used in business, education, and more generally. The audiobook edition is fantastic. And at only 4.5 hours long. It's not much longer than some podcasts that get released these days! Highly recommended.
