The big reveal…
So I wrote up a lot of these little stories a few years ago but I’ve added some new ones, cleaned it all up and now I’m the happiest with it that I’ve ever been. You can definitely get a copy in time for Christmas, if you’re so inclined…

"时间在户外有一种奇异的面貌。在太阳之下，时间好像是静止的。只有当每一分钟都是一种对身体的折磨时，你才会发现原来一个小时里真的有六十分钟，而且下一个小时并不比这个小时更接近黄昏。受钟表支配的室内工作者们从来没有跟时间正面交锋过。他们的秒针在打字机的“哒哒”声中走得飞快。当打字机静下来时，他们的一天也结束了。我们这些在户外工作的人，每天都在跟永恒作斗争，其间只有我们的手是忙碌的；我们的头脑在日出和日落之间可能已经变老又再度年轻；未来可能在一个小时中被重写，乌鸫的一首歌还没唱完，希望可能就被杀死又重生过了。我们确切地知道一天有多长。在几个月漫长的煎熬后，我们因为许多的沉默和许多的惊奇而苍老困惑，回到坐在办公室的朋友身边时却发现他们完全没有变化，只一脸单纯地从时间的表面滑过。"
— Stella Benson: 独居, pp. 127-128

Just a quick reminder...
If you’ve read my book, 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' I’d be grateful if you left a review wherever you prefer.
This isn’t a plea for 5 star ratings; it’s a request for honesty. Books are personal: I dislike plenty, feel neutral about many, and love a few. Whatever your response, reviews really help. A wall of 5-stars is wonderful, but it can also feel suspicious to readers. A mix of perspectives shows the book is being read seriously.

Are there any book clubs on Mastodon? The in-person ones around me keep petering out or are hard to get to, and the ones I’ve seen online are toooo big for my tastes. I have a slight preference for fantasy/sci-fi, but any genre is good. I just want to talk about books! #bookstodon #books #reading

¡Buenos días! ¡tenemos capítulo nuevo del #podcastnave! En esta ocasión Yaiza y Virginia entrevistan a Marina Tena y hablan con ella de sus novelas, sobre el relato como formato literario, sobre el oficio de escritora en el panorama editorial actual cuando además tu género literario favorito vende poco, sobre los niños y sus historias como elemento de terror y de las autoras y las historias que la inspiran. . https://www.ivoox.com/03-x-05-el-marina-tena-audios-mp3_rf_169333952_1.html #literaverso #bookstodon
#AynRand is quoted, misquoted, praised, and vilified — often by people who haven’t read her.
_The Ayn Rand Reader_ offers excerpts from her #fiction and #nonfiction: her ideas, her voice, her terms.

On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder is a valuable thing to have by your side in these times of increasing fascism.
Each chapter begins with a short bit of advice as it's title, followed by a sentence or two on it's potential importance. The rest of the chapter provides concrete historical examples.
Each chapter is short, and the book is only 126 pages. Possibly the most valuable thing that you could ever read.
I'm going to be posting the first page of each chapter, because of how important I think it is to share these ideas. Please boost if you feel them useful.

Book number 3 on my #StephenKing re-read journey.
This was a lot of fun to revisit. Another one I read decades ago. This has so many of my favorite short SK stories in it. Many many classics.
This book turned out a remarkable ELEVEN movie + tv adaptations. Absolutely insane. Talk about legendary.
Really hard to pick a favorite but Battleground is so much fun.
