Inspired by
having the Niven biography "The Other Side of the Moon' for #DeanStreetDecember 2024, I've decided to honour my Dad by adding to my 2024 TBR bios of 3 comics he introduced me to when I was FAR too young to really get them. Recs please for the best bios of
Sellers

Starting Bush's "The Case of the Missing Men", book 11/15 for my #DeanStreetDecember & laughing at myself: I DID "leap to an unwarranted conclusion based on these initials" not the ACTUAL, REAL writer normal readers would think of - I thought of Albert Campion🤦♂️😆🤦♂️ #AmReading#ebooks#Kobo#GoldenAgeMysteries@bookstodon
Well THAAAANK YOU #GNUTerryPratchett for 'ruining' a whole page of this book A lengthy passage about a Scottish Highland character's interactions with "the Little People" ends with this question and OF COURSE I read the whole thing mentally substituting "Wee Free" for "Little" - Every.Single.Time 🤣 #AmReading#ebooks#DeanStreetDecember#Discworld@bookstodon
40 months in, and adding books remains the one major pain point of my experience @thestorygraph but after 3 hours work, I'm all set for #The StoryGraphReadsTheWorld2024. Now to hope the promised "Number of books" style challenges arrive soon so I can add these to my "30 nonfiction in 2024". #AmReading#ebooks@bookstodon#nonfiction
"Experts have been selected to create a multidisciplinary volume with a thematic approach to the vast subject, tackling administration, army, economy, law, mobility, religion (local and imperial religions and Christianity), social status, and urbanism. They situate the phenomena of Latinization, literacy, bi-, and multilingualism within local and broader social developments and draw together materials and arguments that have not before been coordinated in a single volume."

"This interdisciplinary study analyses the connections between literary Modernism and right-wing ideology. Moreover, it is the first academic study to explore the reception of these Modernist authors by today's far right, seeking to understand in what ways they use strategic readings of Modernist texts to legitimise right-wing ideology."
