Picked up second hand today. Should pair well with the copy of A Journal of the Plague Year I bought recently. 💙📚
Like The Anatomy of Melancholy, A Journal of the Plague Year is another one I wish l’d picked up at the height of the pandemic.
I’ve just discovered Backlisted the book podcast and this is the first book I’ve bought directly attributable to one of their episodes 💙📚
Want to read: A Month in the Country by J.L. Carr 📚
Eager to check out this novel after hearing it being discussed so enthusiastically on the lit podcast Across the Pond.
New fenders and a cool little rear reflector for my bike.
Cold noodles for hot days.
A second volume of stories by pioneering alt-manga artist Yamada Murasaki. Just released by Drawn & Quarterly.
@manton Hi, on threads I'm neilbruder. thanks!
@manton Hi Manton, are there still some slots available? If so my threads handle is @ neilbruder
@odd Yes! It's delicious
@kulturnation That is cool, it’s so interesting!
@odd ha of course! I’ll have to try it if I’m ever in Bergen!
@vikingsversussamurai The Tarkovsky one is a very, very different beast but also good!
@vikingsversussamurai Do it! Solaris is always a great place to start.
@devilgate The trailers that are playing constantly on YouTube right now aren’t doing anything for me but I do like some of the actors.
@jean Thanks, I liked the first season but that felt like enough for me :)
@jensands or you just use it to get the ball rolling so to speak.
@jensands btw, people make these for all kinds of situations. Google decision dice :)
@jensands Oh cool! You could make multiple sets or a set with more dice for more granularity!
@jensands Gorgeous!
@jensands A little helper if you're indecisive! Roll for cooking style and primary ingredients combo. I'm pretty sure they were a free gift that came with a hobonichi planner I bought online a few years ago.
@jsonbecker 1 in 50 might be my average 😅
@annahavron Thanks!
@tracydurnell Yes, completely agree! My strategy is to be surrounded by a large number of unread books so whatever my whim it can always be satisfied :)
@jsonbecker Ah see here’s where I have to admit I’m a bit of an oddball in that my reading tastes don’t actually overlap with theirs that much BUT I do like to keep abreast of what’s going in in sci-fi & fantasy. And I just enjoy the rapport the panelists have.
@jsonbecker their book club episodes are my favourite!
@jtr Here’s one way you could approach a 5 year diary. austinkleon.substack.com/p/inside-...
@manton thank you for the info! I’m still finding my around micro.blog.
@manton "...after you blog about each one." Does this just mean after changing the status in Epilogue to "finished reading"?
@bmann I used Twitterific and by some stroke of luck the desktop client still works.
@bmann Looks delicious!
