books | If you're in the market for a pop-sci book, please consider picking up a copy of mine. I honestly think it's the best thing I've ever written. Nature called it "a wild ride", which I love 🦎 Or if you've already read & enjoyed it, could you please write a lil review? Thank you very much in advance 😊 # books # scicomm # science https:// uk.bookshop.org/p/books/sticky -the-secret-science-of-surfaces-laurie-winkless/5733175 |

books | https://www. booksns.com/43274/ I just realized that I’ve been incorrectly describing the type of mystery I like, and now I have no idea what to call it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? # books I did try looking it up, but I’ve had no luck. The type of mystery I’m looking for usually involves the cast of characters isolated from the outside world somehow.

"Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life" by Emily Nagoski She said it was particularly interesting for vagina owners, but I'd venture to say it is likely good those who like neurosexuality as well. I will imo, confirm or deny once I get into it. I love all science, but especially brain science. This will make for a hyperfixation day or two.

books | JFR Gilded Ghost by Kyle Kirrin read by Travis Baldree. This is the third book in the Ripple System series Imagine the next big MMORPG, one with full immersive VR play. There are cycles and seasons, but the big players have, in a matter of weeks, begun triggering world-altering events, and the main character, Ned, is the most hated player in the entire world. Ned's chosen city is about to come under siege by a guild who has razed every place they've targeted, the most popular player and online streamer and his literal cult is gunning for him, and Ned has to bet literally everything he owns and has built in the game to save his city from impending doom. I love Travis' narration. The interactions between Ned and his all-knowing axe, Frank are hilarious. It's an RPG, and there's a lot of reading out of stats, which might be a downside for some. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to book four # books # bookstodon # Audiobooks |

books | Which is in fact because I have just finished # AliSmith 's 'Spring'. It is a beautiful novel. Part 1 is particularly brilliant. I'm not sure about its flirtation with magical realism in part 2. We need a writer who can find hope without recourse to magic. On the other hand, it is more mythological realism than magical. We can believe in myth making and story telling. What is real is not the mundane, but the eternal or, better, the eternal in the mundane. Smith is on the side of the angels because she believes in art, in myth in story telling. Spring, with its promise of life, is contrasted with winter which is dark and unenchanted. It is also art and the mundane. Smith is with Chaucer not Elliott. So am I. What I particularly like is the motif that none of this is about you. It serves to cut the privileged down to size, but the moral extends. The story isn't Florence's or the Machines. It is a shared world and 'world' here is truely all that is, was, will be or even could have been the case. # Books , # Fiction , # Migration , # Refugees @ bookstodon |

A sensitive exploration of a boy coming to terms with his family's, and his country's, tragic history.

books | 📚 “The Meditations” by Marc Aurel was probably never intended to be read by anyone but the author, things to one’s self however allow us to get a glimpse into a mind filled with Stoa. Meandering alongside these trains of thoughts, clearing the mind, reminding one’s self to be good, can serve anyone well. # books # classic # Stoa https://www. goodreads.com/book/show/30659.

books | i’ve been reading miyazaki’s Starting Point, and it is replete with thinking about what human beings are, and what cartoons can offer them. i knew he was an exceptional animator, but never realized how much effort he put into the psychological foundations of his stories. “I feel that viewers should feel liberated after watching cartoon films, and that the characters should also ultimately be liberated. So I like the idea that the Conan characters actually became more innocent at the end. What really makes me mad about most TV anime, to the extent that I have watched it, is that the shows don't have any sort of purifying or cathartic effect at all. I really can't stand them. I think they don't have any respect for real humanity. The only way they can imagine humans changing is by assuming that people want to change. It's too terrifying for the creators to deal with characters that seem incapable of changing even as they are changing.” (p. 304) When I think back on his films, I am struck at how many of them end on a non-neurotic note. There is no overcoming the evil bad person. The protagonist doesn’t get what s/he wants. There is just an uneasy resolution to problems - that were ultimately because of ego, not because of evil. I wish there were more writers like this. # manga # anime # books # bookstodon |
