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

Dear @… ,
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

Copyright / 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.

Wrote 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

Stolen 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…

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.

"A Life on Our Planet: My Witness Statement and a Vision for the Future" by David Attenborough (one of my heroes) is not a book that leaves a warm, fuzzy feeling. The future looks grim if we don't start behaving differently, starting today. Written with clarity and conviction.

Just learned that when you rate / review a #book before the official publication date, #Goodreads asks has an extra approval process asking where you got the book from and then manually vetting what you say.
I get access to a bunch of Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) through my #publishing job, but this is the first time I tried to publicly rate one 😅
Fun to see the behind the scenes!

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)

"Have a Bleedin Guess: The Story of Hex Enduction Hour". A whole #book on one album. And after reading, the album is still as unfathomable as before. By Paul Hanley, former drummer of #TheFall
And, of course, a very got reason to listen to some more Fall albums.

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.

Diving 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?

A long time ago, I read "girl in a band", by Kim Gordon. #goodread
"Sonic Life: A Memoir" by Thurston Moore is not as witty, but has a lot more pages, full of names of bands and people, from the times that shapes my musical taste.
Mixes well with listening to Sonic Youth.
