    Finishing up 2025 by reading Rule 34 .. Glad I'm reading it and not listening to the audio book. There's enough Scottish in here that I'm not sure I’d understand the whole story otherwise. :)Good book thus far, though. Thanks for writing it, @cstross !#bookstodon

    Just when I thought I couldn't love the library's Christmas tree even more, I read the sign.'Come and pluck our book tree! Between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. on the 22nd, you can pick free books from our Christmas tree and give them a new home. Bring a bag - enjoy your new reads!'#Dokk1 #Aarhus #Bookstodon #Libraries

    Excerpt from a book I'm reading, Slow Poison, by Mahmood Mamdani, father of Zorhan Mamdani."FBI agents knocked onmy door...they asked what I thought of Marx. I said I hadnever met him. Not surprisingly, this Ugandan Muyindi had never heard of KarlMarx. “He’s dead.”I said, “I'm sorry, what happened?”“No, he died long ago.”I wondered why, then, the question. “Why, then, are you asking me?”Later, I would remind myself: the FBI introduced me to Karl Marx!

    Are there any book clubs on Mastodon? The in-person ones around me keep petering out or are hard to get to, and the ones I’ve seen online are toooo big for my tastes. I have a slight preference for fantasy/sci-fi, but any genre is good. I just want to talk about books! #bookstodon #books #reading

    @swelljoe @kgw If I may add: get the Penguin Classics edition with the foreword by Vivien Jones. It adds a lot of context and explains little weird references in the text (through footnotes).All that extra information added to my enjoyment of the novel.

    @npt_writes As a sometimes-published author, may I suggest every author be selling their books *through their own websites*? Publish on demand, e-commerce plugins for blogs, etc. Then we don't have Amazon and other corporate monopolists taking a big percentage off the top before we see any money...

    I've just finished reading The Dispossessed by U.K. Le Guin.I have no words. I just wanna go live on Anarres now. I'd accept all the challenges, to live a truer life, a free-er life, in many ways. This is the kind of reads that I love. Not just entertaining but that makes you think, and see things differently. It enriches you, and leave you emotional at the same time.I'm going to read A Wizard of Earthsea now. I just have to at this point, and I'm sure I'll love it.#scifi #bookstodon

    An Amazon AI chatbot that sums up the book you are reading while you are reading it. While trampling over the writer’s rights. “Ask This Book."“Your expert reading assistant, instantly answering questions about plot details, character relationships, and thematic elements without disrupting your reading flow.”Enshittification is too polite a word for all this.#Books #Bookstodon #Enshittification #AI https://writerbeware.blog/2025/12/12/kindles-new-gen-ai-powered-ask-this-book-feature-raises-rights-concerns/

    #AmReading The Grapes of Wrath and OMFG. It's all there in these classic books, everything we need to know, and yet we keep doing the same things decade after decade..."We're sorry. It's not us. It's the monster. The bank isn't like a man.Yes, but the bank is only made of men.No, you're wrong there--quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It hapens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it."#Bookstodon @bookstodon

    📚 Reseña: «Persépolis», de Marjane Satrapi 📚La historia de cómo esta novela gráfica llegó a mi poder es peculiar. Obviamente la conocía y quería leerla, pero no tenía el libro. Lo compré como regalo de Navidad para un amigo porque conocía sus gustos y sabía que le gustaría, y estaba en lo cierto porque de hecho ya lo tenía 😅. Así que me lo quedé yo (a mi amigo le compré otra cosa, no le dejé sin regalo 😂).✨ La historia es la autobiografía de la autora, Marjane Satrapi. Nos explica sus vivencias durante su infancia, adolescencia y juventud durante la guerra de Irán e Irak en los años 80 y la represión del régimen iraní tras la revolución islámica.✨ Es una lectura dura, difícil incluso, pero necesaria. Trata temas como la guerra y sus consecuencias para los civiles, la violencia política, la libertad de expresión y la represión, la misoginia, el extremismo religioso, la intolerancia...✨ Como veis, son temas que, por desgracia, siguen siendo muy actuales. Por eso creo que es una lectura necesaria, porque además la autora lo expresa desde su punto de vista, el punto de vista de una persona que lo ha visto, lo ha vivido, incluso ha intentado huir de ello. Además, Satrapi no se calla, demuestra que desde niña ha sido una persona que se alza contra las injusticias y las denuncia sin miedo a las consecuencias. ✨ Pero casi lo que más me ha gustado ha sido cómo la autora utiliza el humor y la ironía para narrar unos hechos tan duros y difíciles. En algunos casos es imposible hacerlo (hablar de la muerte de una familia entera tras un bombardeo, por ejemplo, no es algo que se pueda hacer con humor), pero en general creo que el equilibrio que consigue entre humor, ironía y seriedad de lo que está contando está muy logrado y además ayuda a suavizar la dureza de lo que explica, aunque sin pretender nunca ocultarla.✨ Respecto al apartado artístico, es verdad que el dibujo es sencillo y sin demasiados alardes (aunque tiene algunas viñetas que visualmente resultan impactantes más por el simbolismo que por la técnica de dibujo), pero eso no es lo que importa aquí. Aquí lo que importa es la historia, las injusticias que se denuncian y la realidad que la autora nos muestra.✨ Conclusión: como decía antes, una obra muy necesaria, y más en la actualidad. Por lo que está ocurriendo en otros países pero también por lo que podría llegar a ocurrir aquí, porque por desgracia nunca podemos asegurar que los avances conseguidos van a estar ahí para siempre. Valoración: 9,9/10 (no le pongo 10/10 porque nunca le pongo 10 a nada porque creo que la perfección no existe, pero esta sin duda la roza).#TKZme #resena #booktodon #bookstodon #literaverso #TKZlibros

    Tucking into this one because @pluralistic@mamot.fr told me I had to. I don't know how nuts it's going to be, but the first couple chapters start out with some truly wild stories. Promoting because the author is not allowed to. #bookstodon #greed #facebook #enshittification(comment on Careless People)

    You may be asking yourself - why in heaven's name would someone choose to publish their own book? After all, isn't that a lot more work?Why yes. Yes it is.But there are reasons: https://www.danielaquirke.com/2025/09/03/why-i-chose-to-publish-my-own-book#WritingCommunity #Bookstodon

    Quite by chance, I stumbled across the good old #zines (still existing/coming back?). I remember them from the 1980s/90s. Are zines really a thing again? Can you tell me more about them? Is it a new cultural phenomenon, why do you like or make them? I'm super curious and fascinated!Here some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine#zineLibrary #miniZines #artbook #bookstodon #writersCommunity #writers #illustrators
