Jeg er næsten færdig med en kort historie om Italien og det giver stort indtryk om lige præcis hvor imponerende EU er efter tusinde år af mere eller mindre konstant krig i Europa.
Jeg får også lyst til at starte en ny europæisk bogklub til at lære om vores fælles europæisk naboer samt læse nogle gode bŸger jeg ellers ville aldrig har kommer til. Nogen der har lyst til at komme og læse med i hovedstaden?
Eng:
I’ve almost finished a short history of Italy, and it really brings home just how impressive the EU is after a thousand years of more or less constant war in Europe.
I’m now also keen to join/start a European book club to learn about our fellow European neighbours and read some good books I’d otherwise never get round to. Anyone fancy joining me in or around Copenhagen?

Just finished "Skating Wilder" written by Brandon Dumais and illustrated by AJ Dungo. It's a really amazing graphic novel history of skateboarding, from the 1960s through to the present. It's got multiple threads from the commercial angle, to the magazines and music, to the individual tricks.
I've never skated myself (never taught myself to balance properly) but I loved Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 as a kid and I still like watching skate videos. I learned a lot of details from this book that I never knew growing up and the way it talks about skating surviving multiple waves of commercialization is inspiring.

The title goes like this: "The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook".
And basically, that is exactly what you'll get in this #book
It's not the first book on James Cook I read, but Hampton Sides is a very attractive narrator, and he did his homework very well.

hmm when there is a book in #Openlibrary (to add it to #bookwyrm) but I only find the english edition but not the german (which also has a different ISBN -- should I add it as a separate book?
This time even the german an english title are the same.

While it is fun having the progress shown as 3500 / 13488 with The Complete Wheel of Time ebook, I wanted to enjoy the individual covers as well.
Luckily Calibre with the epub-split plugin made that rather painless, just some metadata adjustments.
Also kudos to TOR publishing for intentionally providing a DRM-free epub, making this possible (without having to remove it beforehand)

If you are a logophile or perhaps a lexophile, or if you watch British TV, you know the name, Susie Dent. She’s got a new book, a mystery, called Guilty by Definition. TBH I’m not a fan of mysteries, but I am a fan of her, so I picked this up when I saw it. 1 chapter in and I’m hooked. Editors at an Oxford dictionary get a letter that references the year the senior editor’s sister disappeared. #bookstodon

"The Elements of Marie Curie: How the Glow of Radium Lit a Path for Women in Science" by Dava Sobel, one of
my favorite writers since "Longitude".
Not only a brilliant scientist with 2 Nobel prizes, but also a forerunner for women in science, Marie Curie unfortunately only understood the medical risks of radioactivity after it undermined her own health.

amazing piece but basically woke up in the middle of the night wondering about the unanswered question here: if book freak richard hell has been in the same wee spot since '74, what does he do when his shelves are full? does he have storage spaces like verlaine? does he deaccession at the strand? #nyc #books

Alberta Senator @… delivered an excellent speech warning of the harms of online censorship, moral panic, book bans, and the problems with bans and age verifications as Senate Bill S-209 moves from the Senate to the House of Commons.
Thank you Senator! I could not agree more!

Read "How To Survive In A Science Fiction Universe" by Charles Yu, a novel about a time-machine repair-man getting stuck in a loop during his search for his father.
First person narrated, in a fictional universe in which you can travel in time but you can't change anything about the past.
It was fun and an easy read, lots of interludes about the physics of fictional universes and explanations of acausal items causing their own existence, including the book itself that you read in your hands.
Its nice if you'd like something with experimental narrative form twisting the usual story format.
