Hej Kochane Mordeczki! Najlepsza (najwygodniejsza? bezproblemowa?) aplikacja do czytania e-booków na iPada?
Książki częściowo będą spoza "księgarni" (w sensie pliki będą lokalne więc chciałbym je wrzucać na iPada np mailem czy chmurą... jakoś tak)


UWAGA - pytanie "grzecznościowe" - ja nie mam iPada, więc nie wiem jak to tam działa - to kumpel szuka czegoś takiego, więc polećcie mu coś :)

Starting my thread with this essay about my books & my cats. I created it a few years ago & keep it updated. It's whimsical, it makes me happy, and it's a good intro to my writing. I hope you enjoy it.

Note: All images in the blog post had alt-text last I checked. Book pages on my site should all have alt descriptions as well. Should. It's a work in progress.

Today in things I'm proud of making: this brand-new blurb graphic for my ongoing series, the Rollover Files.

TL;DR pitch: midlife crisis superpowers. Contains swearwords, moms & teens saving the world, idealism, and good people dealing with bad situations as best they can.

Cock Ale was a type of beer fermented with the bones and meat of a rooster, along with spices and other aromatics for a little kick. 🐔

Just landed at your local shadow library: http://library.lol/fiction/296049F4BF15BB1F02A7B996219F133E

A new epub from a fresh OCR.
The pdf is at Internet Archive, where you can read it an hour at a time (such fun). https://archive.org/details/bwb_P8-CDK-310

A rare book from the Dr. Fu Manchu man, this is a pleasant, short mystery story with all the tropes: a PI who is frenemy with the police inspector; beautiful woman with secrets, a corpse who is not really dead (at first), and so on. Very readable.

"Matthew Leporati argues that the epic revival not only reflects but also interrogates this evangelical turn. The first to examine the impact of the missionary work on epic literature, this book offers sustained analysis of both under-read and canonical works, bringing fresh historical and literary contexts to bear on our understanding of this unique revival of epic poetry."

"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."
