Only a few pages in, this is already one of my favorite books of the year. Brilliantly written, an easy read yet so full of crucial perspective. #books#bookstodon#reading#literature#feminism
I find this so unsettling, yet condensed #books and things like CliffsNotes have been around for years. I think this enables people with ADHD and those with the attention span of fleas, yet, maybe it can be useful for some. At least this isn't all AI.
Four pages to go. Karen Tei Yamashita’s ‘I Hotel’. 605 pages, what a book! Historical fiction depicting the lives of Asian Americans in San Francisco from 1968-1977. Recommended!
Just finished 'Cruel Provocations' by @golgaloth and I wish it wasn't over - so much so that I stopped myself reading the last few chapters last night, just to draw the enjoyment out a little longer.
An intriguing tale that combines an ostensibly fantasy setting with proto-electric technology (lightning-punk?) its twists and turns take you to unexpected places, and does "the fey" with a unique approach that I loved.
A very impressive debut novel that cries out for a sequel!

"[We] believe that this unique, new, quality-assured book-based resource...could play an important role in supporting the wider community affected by #dementia.”
An interesting piece about #writing, #reading, and a bit on collecting #firstEditions. There’s some irony in owning a first edition of #greatGatsby owned earlier by Dorothy Scarritt, Oppenheimer’s secretary at Los Alamos. And I had only a little twinge reading that one who just turned 40 might expect to read only 480 more books carefully if one manages to read one book a month.
