I try not to bleat too much about my disability, but I was born with a crippling case of congenital laziness.
That's why when I saw the titles of the five new Sara Woods reissues from Dean Street Press show up for pre-order at Kobo, I smiled at these two:
First, my life's motto. Then, my epitaph - THEY GET ME
😱😁

(These are books 11-15 of the Woods series reissued by DSP, the whole series is very good for fans of quality #Mystery writing)

Pratchat has a whole back catalogue of excellent discussions about #TerryPratchett and #Discworld, but they don't understand the importance of overusing #hashtags in the #fediverse, so you might have missed them.
Shel Silverstein is famous for his children’s poetry and illustrations.
In poem Lazy Jane the word "rain" hovers just above Jane’s open mouth, as the string of words above it seems to represent the trickle of water she longs for.

Seeking a multi-book eReader for Android (tablet), that can open 4 (or more) books at the same time. Mostly EPUB or MOBI, or PDF if I must.
Can you help? Can you boost to someone who can? 🙏👍😀
I just learned that the last saturday of April celebrates Indie Bookstore Day.
So, please buy your books from Indie stores.
Yes, even if they don't have dragons 😜😁

That sounds made up, but I'm not a doctor so I'll allow it 😁
But I'm wondering if anyone knows what this disease is called? 🤔
My genetic disorder just makes me want to pee all the time 😂

🧠🇸🇪 Swedish #education officials are scaling back digital device usage in schools after reports indicated a decline in basic #literacy skills.
The new strategy prioritizes printed #books and handwriting to support cognitive focus and deep #reading. #Research suggests that physical materials enhance memory retention and reading comprehension compared to digital screens.

So, it's either keep buying more books or become a librarian? 🤔
It's a rare thing indeed to have life present us with two excellent choices 😊

Dancer From The Dance. Andrew Holleran.
It’s 1970’s post-Stonewall NYC, and you are the most beautiful of the beautiful A-gays, and your life is an endless stream of parties, bathhouses, Fire Island summers, public parks, restrooms, drugs, and disco after disco; everyone thinks you must be the happiest queen, but of course…

Don Quixote in the Study by Gustave Doré (1862)
The scene where Don Quixote, a ‘book madman’, falls into a knight saga and loses his sense of reality. It is humorous yet fantastically portrayed.

"Just as a bookcase full of read and unread books conjures up a portrait of the owner over time ('joggers of the memory,' Georges Perec calls them), so the books that arrest us in the present constitute a reflection of 'what we are, or what we are becoming or desire' (Lynne Sharon Schwarz)."

There are some lovely suggestions here for summer reading from authors such as Zadie Smith, Tahmima Anam, Mark Haddwon and others.

Hive Mind: Looking for a sci-fi book read in the mid-'60s. Takes place in a moon colony run by a large corporation. Murders are happening & no one can find the murderer. A detective is brought up from Earth to assist. He is blind & has a "birth defect" that allows him to see people as strange, colorful geometric objects, which leads to the answer. Need author & title.
