@lukasweidinger@gruene.socialDear @… ,
I’ve just finished your latest #book “Moral Ambition” with that intimidating back cover text as my first one this year. I found the table of contents populistically appalling and the actual content really
@outer@mas.toThis a great book! Teri's a great author! This is a great price!
If someone tries to charge you more for it, don't go there.

@Xavier@infosec.exchangeHey there #bookstodon folks. Would love help finding my next #audiobook adventure. I just finished the latest book in "Dungeon Crawler Carl" and, while amazingly fun, it reminded me that I try to only read series that have endings. I hate waiting for the next book!
So what are…
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioSpeaking of #taxes, I just got this #book from the office (it’s published by my employer) and I’m so excited to read it.
From the blurb: “taxes are the public’s most powerful weapon in the fight for a real democracy”

@johnhobbs@mstdn.caDiving into a history book feels like journeying through time, uncovering intricate stories from ancient civilizations to World War II. Each chapter satisfies my curiosity without the hassle of travel delays. 📚 What genre captivates you when you seek both relaxation and new insights?

@floheinstein@chaos.socialMy wife loves Bookgoblin by Elisabeth Wheatley, and she had an early black friday sale starting today.
But the author has a geoblock on her store which excludes Swiss IPs (and VPNs and Proxies). I couldn't let that stop me. And it didn't.
FOR BOOKHALLA!

@jensilber@mastodon.socialCopyright / trademark question:
Why is it that an author can refer to a trademarked product in a book at their whim, but when that book gets adapted into a film or television show the product cannot be included without approval of the trademark owner?
Tagging #bookstodon because that might catch the attention of a writer or editor who knows the answer.
@bourgwick@heads.socialfarewell to my one true book format. #books

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caThis is a really really nice interview with Canadian Children's Book author Robert Munsch. It's his "last hurrah”. He's living with dementia and parkinson’s.
He's going to be leaving (MAID) at some point (not soon) but there are 50 more books that will be released after he has passed.
He just seems like a wonderful guy…

@pre@boing.worldRead "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.

@stefan@gardenstate.socialJust finished The Way of Kings.
while the writing was good and the characters were good it's such a poorly plotted book that it becomes unenjoyable.
Very little happens over 800 pages and while I love character development it's no excuse for how slow this moves. I would have enjoyed this at 500 pages. At 1000 I don't even want to read more.

@johnhobbs@mstdn.caAs a devoted enthusiast of history, science, and fiction, I am constantly inspired by the profound revelations in these narratives.

@callunavulgaris@mastodon.scotStolen from @… as I thought it was such a great idea: a thread of all the books I read in a year.
Leonard and Hungry Paul by Ronan Hession, read for a #bookgroup that unanimously loved it. Set in modern day Ireland, it's a contemplative and gently humorou…

@PwnieFan@infosec.exchangeWrote a chapter for the first time in a while. Work on the next book is slow, but I'm glad I took the time. Whatever you do that fulfills you, I hope everyone reading this is finding a little time for joy in between the chaos. #amwriting #bookstodon
