Ich glaube, Hans Kundnanis Eurowhiteness: Culture, Empire and Race in the European Project ist auch deswegen ein #Mustread für Politikinteressierte, weil man hier ne zumindest in DE ungewöhnliche Perspektive auf Europa als rechtes Projekt bekommt. Zumindest nach dieser #Rezension, die ich schon sehr spannend fand.

@bookstodon As we approach the end of 2023, I would love to know about the very best books you read this year. (They don't have to have been published in 2023 for your "best of" list.)

#Today, 150 years ago, Lola Ridge was born in Dublin. She was to become a modernist #poet, a leading figure in the #modernist movement in #NewYork , a very prominent #anarchist #activist and campaigner für women's rights, the rights of immigrants and the poor. Lola Ridge has had a small renaissance since her biography came out 2016, but she could be read more widely.

I just read this comprehensive roundup of the absolutely wild saga how #CaitCorrain tried to sabotage their fellow debut authors, when I saw on Twitter that her publisher #DelReyBooks cancelled her book #CrownofStars.

I realised that most of the books or stories I really enjoyed this year could be categorised with the #Cozy hashtag , but I don't (didn't?) see myself as a cozy #genre reader (one of my fave book is Gravity's Rainbow). So I wondered what is going on and started to read up on the definition of cozy #genre. This blog post I found especially helpful, because of the nuanced discussion of the low/high stakes dynamics.

I've started E. M. Anderson's The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher , and I already love Edna so much, I sneaked at the end, if she will be still around. The older I get, the less I like getting my heroes killed.

Helen de Cruz' Newsletter Wondering Freely is one of my favourites. She makes complex philosophical ideas accessible and uses them to discuss how to live a good life. In her new article she writes about how to unlearn toxic productivity & start to learn to let your mind roam free.

I still haven’t read Lolly Willowes, which is a shame, I know, but this review essay on the novel and a new biography on Valentine Ackland, Townsend Warner’s partner, brought it back to my tbr pile.

I’m still awfully lagging behind my @lrb pile, but being a little bit out of synch with the news these days isn’t that bad, Anyway, a good review essay probably profits if one doesn’t read it to be in the loop.

„The kidneys (grilled over a clear fire) lay on top of thick slices of bacon, surrounded by fried potatoes, golden brown and sizzling. The bacon was farm bacon (…) Gilbert fell to and enjoyed his supper; the grill, followed by apple tart, and the apple tart by home-made cheese.“ — I would love to read a novel full of food descriptions like that .Any #suggestions?

Dear @politicalscience , I have no university affiliation so no access to Sage journals. It would be super great, if I could get access to this paper by Mair & Katz: Changing Models of Party Organization and Party Democracy: The Emergence of the Cartel Party.

@bookstodon Tomorrow (today in Australia and New Zealand) is #Ageism Awareness Day. What really good novels have you read that feature older protagonists?

These come to my mind:

Remnant Population, Elizabeth Moon

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Olga Tokarczuk

Deacon King Kong, James McBride

We Spread, Iain Reid

Old God's Time, Sebastian Barry

Here is a new thread for friends of #PaperHistory, #BookHistory, and the #histodons community.
@histodons

On the painting with the title "The Alchemist" from the Flemish Mattheus van Helmont, circa mid seventeenth century, are many uses and abuses of #earlymodern paper products reflected in the details. I will address 7 of these paper issues in the thread. Bonus for #Alchemy friends: a large écorché figure, a distillation apparatus over a fire, and metal working assistants.
Enjoy.

Everyone whose literary tastes I trust, recommends Black River Orchard but Chuck Wendig. I loved Mr. Wendig's apple threads on twitter. I love love love apples. But I'm really squeamish regarding hard core horror (blood, gore, slaughter, graphic violence). So, people of @bookstodon – shall I at least try to read it?

Dear @bookstodon #bookstodon , French literary prices season has started. All the Grands Prix like the #prixgoncourt have published their #longlist . Since the #nobelprizeforliterature for #AnnieErnaux has shifted the focus away from Houellebecq & Carrière, I think it's interesting to look what's on the lists. (And I liked last year's Prix Goncourt winner, Vivre vite by Brigitte Giraud a lot.) Here's a great ressource to keep track of the prices.

Der Teil in meinem Job als Ghost Writer, der mir mit am meisten Spaß macht, ist eigentlich auch der seltsamste: Ich werde von einem großen Unternehmen dafür bezahlt, dass ich jede Woche so ca. 3 Stunden einfach so mit Senior Level Management-Jungs über Gott und die Wirtschaftswelt rede, damit die bissle im "Diskurs" drin sind & "nicht völlig über Powerpoint" verblöden. Demnächst präsentiere ich ihnen Saitos "Systemsturz", außerdem würden sie gerne was zu Demokratie-Krisendiskussionen wissen.

Okay, kids, it's FRIDAY! So whatcha reading this weekend? 📚😎📚

I've got a load of new books to read. I don't even know where to start. A friend gifted me a copy of the graphic novel Black Hole, by Charles Burns, so probably that and another graphic novel Flights, which has like six volumes, and somehow I'm starting with vol. 2. edited by Kazu Kibuishi. And I plan to fit in The Vaster Wilds by the incomparable Lauren Groff.

Ich neige massiv zur #Apokalyptik, was schnell unproduktiv werden kann. Das ist ein prima Interview mit Marina Garcès gegen apokalyptisches Denken:
"The objective facts about the reality of the world say rather that hell has been with us for a long time. (...) There is an apology of apocalypse deliberately fed by the media and the culture industry that aims to destroy desire, domesticate rage and exert social control through fear and importunity."
