This is the kind of (anti)social media I like 😁 Or maybe introvert media 🤔

Comic from Unshelved about a boy asking librarian about what books he can check out and the librarian telling him he can check out any book. The teacher says it's above the child's reading level and they have a policy. The librarian replies he loves the sound of a breaking policy breaking.

Excerpt of my book The Last Philosopher.

In "Trying to do right" we're introduced to a character who's escaping a prison and thinks he's The Last (Free) Philsopher 😊

Nothing about this baby-faced man gave the impression of a
convict. For one thing, his ever-changing frown was often
somewhere between perpetual amazement and advanced calculus.
Combined with his weary blue eyes and the grey streak in his hair, it
gave him the look of a scholar. To complete that image, he needed a
beard, but his smooth face could never produce more than a slight
fuzz.

Herschel |. Pensador was trying out a new idea: non-violent
resistance. Just one of many notions this gifted thinker had about
how things should be done. But it hadn’t evolved into hunger strikes
or protests. Instead, the non-violent part only meant that his escape
should bother no one else. Not even the guards.

So, putting the book down where you finish reading it until it organically evolves into a pile of books doesn't count as "arranging"? Rude! 😜😂

Challenging and compelling
"If you are looking for something different from the usual inkitt offerings, try this. If you are looking for something with a very original storyline, indeed, quite unlike anything else you might have read, try this.
As it is written in a very readable style, what are you waiting for?
Style Give it a go.

I do like both, and I've never understood why this is an issue, is it not the content of the book that matters? Not how that content is delivered? 🤔😁

Too many novels is definitely how I want to go, but I'm probably more likely to suffer from a stong bout of drawing-room anguish 😜😂

What litterature is it when the characters are having affairs and suffering, the author is having an affair and suffering, the reader is having an affair and suffering 🤔 😂

Four panel meme with two pictures.

First a woman in a carrige.
Russian lit: The characters are suffering, the author is suffering, the reader is suffering.

Second a picture of a fancy people dancing in a ballroom.
French lit: The characters are having an affair, the author is having an affair, the reader is having an affair.

I saw that question in one of the groups, and I think it's an interesting one to ask.
I've had a good reading year, with many interesting reads (and exciting re-reads), but if I was to pick one book... I think "Ninefox Gambit" by Yoon Ha Lee takes the spot. What's your top book?
