“At this novel’s heart – as with all Kelman’s work – is an unfettered inner voice, a living consciousness in motion… Kelman gifts us the consciousness of childhood as an eternal experience”

—Alan Warner on James Kelman’s 2008 novel KIERON SMITH, BOY

Re-reading Wuthering Heights is a great reminder that 150 years ago, if you, say, sprained an ankle at a neighbor's house, you just lived there for five weeks until it healed.

@HeyLaiverd asked to read my stuff offline.

I thought why not make the first part of The Last Philosopher available to everyone.

Use QR or link in alt-text to get e-book, and feel free to share.

How is a hoarding bookdragon better than a little bookworm that reads like their life depends on it 🤔

Shouldn't books be for the sharing of knowledge, not for the owning of knowledge 😁

| just discovered the term "bookdragon” and I have never felt more seen in my
life. Unlike a bookworm, who reads like their little life depends on it, a bookdragon hoards books like treasure. I used to think I was a bookworm, but now I know that I was very, very wrong.

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! 😜😂

As a society, we need to stop pretending that YA is a decent genre when it's the literary equivalent of a marvel movie.
