<p>Dear, readers, if you prefer books that ignore the conventions of their genre I’m your man. I never tread old ground just to appeal to the market. I only write stories that no one else can, especially not ChatGPT. Buy my books today for confirmation.</p><p>➡️ (<a href="https://books2read.com/ap/8ZqmDn/Ian-Gregoire" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="books2read.com/ap/8ZqmDn/Ian-Gregoire"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">books2read.com/ap/8ZqmDn/Ian-G</span><span class="invisible">regoire</span></a>)<br> <br><a href="/tags/author/" rel="tag">#Author</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/booktoot/" rel="tag">#BookToot</a> <a href="/tags/bookworms/" rel="tag">#Bookworms</a> <a href="/tags/buymybooks/" rel="tag">#BuyMyBooks</a> <a href="/tags/readers/" rel="tag">#Readers</a> <a href="/tags/writer/" rel="tag">#Writer</a></p>

I’m not a book hoarder. I’m prepping for the possibility that one day I might have 173 years to do nothing but read.

Update!
Drop box is NOT BROKEN! Cathy is just super lonely and wants to talk to you about her nine ferrets.

Text above what I assume is a painted picture of Jane Austen..

Jane Austen's works are timeless classics because she knew the real
horrors in life are having to listen to men who think they're better than
you and receiving unannounced visitors.

Drawn image of two old ladies in a cosy room, one climbing a ladder with a stack of books to put in a shelf, the other sitting in a chair built of books reading a book.

Death of the author: Treating the author's stated
interpretation of their own work as merely one opinion
among many, rather than the authoritative Word of God.
Disappearance of the author: Treating the context and
circumstances of the work's authorship as entirely
irrelevant with respect to its interpretation, as though
the work had popped into existence fully formed just
moments ago.

Taxidermy of the author: Working backwards from a
particular interpretation of the work to draw
conclusions about what the context and circumstances
of its authorship must have been.

Undeath of the author: Holding the author personally
responsible for every possible reading of their work,
even ones they could not reasonably have anticipated
at the time of its authorship.

Frankenstein's Monster of the author: Drawing
conclusions about authorial intent based on elements
that are present only in subsequent adaptations by
other authors.

Weekend at Bernie's of the author: Insisting that the
author would personally endorse your interpretation of
the work if they happened to be present.
