Thrilled to pick up the second issue from the already fantastic #RecordTime yesterday at Dog-Eared Books here in SF; the first issue was amazing and this looks no less so. (The #SexPistols listing is for "the world of Sex Pistols novelties and swindles," brilliant.) #music https://recordtimeorg.wordpress.com/

@aworkinglibrary … I read on paper still, so the evidence of time spent is visible in dog-eared corners and coffee stains, in curling covers and the occasional broken spine. I’m hardest on the books I love the most, so that more than one of them is neighbored by a newer edition: not replaced (because I would never forsake my margin notes) but accompanied by a copy that will decay in its own way, soon enough.

📚You can tell a lot about a person by the books on their bookshelf. Abandoned places, especially houses, are often filled with forgotten books left behind. Each scuffed cover and dog-eared page tell a story, beyond the stories contained within.
On my shelf is an eclectic mix of geology, sci-fi, horror and photography books. What is your favourite book, and how many times have you read it?

I added texture to the background of my #website...and it makes me feel like I can touch it.
I love the idea of holding the pages of a website like a #book...what kind of "wear" would a beloved website show with repeat readings?
Would favorite pages have dog-eared corners instead of browser bookmarks?

So today found out Patti Smith has a newsletter. And one of her recent posts commemorates Jean Genet - subject of my doctoral thesis nearly 20 (!) years ago. A sudden homesickness for library stacks, dog-eared copies of Folio Classiques, the incredible privilege of an Arts & Humanities education in the early 00s.

Today is international science fiction day, and also Isaac Asimov's birthday.
Asimov was one of the writer's that "got me going" when I was younger. So here are a selection of his books from my collection. They're dog-eared and tatty for sure, but well-read, beloved, and full of the most amazing ideas and stories.
As well as being a prolific science fiction author, Asimov wrote in numerous other genres, including non-fiction (The Planet That Wasn't, despite the sci-fi sounding title, is actually a collection of non-fiction science articles!), children's and YA stories, detective mysteries, and even wrote a history of the bible.
Thanks for all the memories, Isaac!

23 books that shaped you in high school – NPR
What books shaped you in high school? Here’s what you said
August 28, 20255:00 AM ET, By Beth Novey, Meghan Collins Sullivan, and Andrew Limbong
Maansi Srivastava/NPRThis summer, we asked you to tell us about the books you read in high school that profoundly affected you. It turns out you had a lot to share. More than 1,100 of you wrote back to tell us about the formative texts you were assigned as teens.
You told us about books that broadened your perspectives and stuck with you as you got older. These dog-eared volumes got packed and unpacked every time you moved homes. They led you to become English majors, librarians, writers, teachers and editors. They inspired tattoos, pet names and baby names. Many of you shouted out the English teachers who, decades ago, pressed these texts into your hands, your heads and your hearts.
We’re sharing your thoughts here. This list reflects a time when fewer female authors and writers of color were being published and assigned in high schools — and many of you expressed hope that today’s syllabuses are more varied and diverse.
So, at the start of a new school year, with gratitude to English teachers past, present and future, here’s what you told us about the books that shaped you.
Readers’ responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity.
Two books came up far more often than any of the others:
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Reading about racism from the perspective of a child — 6-year-old narrator Scout Finch in Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1960 novel — was an eye-opening experience for many who responded. Steve Kennebeck, 65, of Ranchos de Taos, N.M., was in seventh grade when his family moved from San Diego to Memphis, Tenn. “Not long after I arrived, my English teacher, sensing I was having difficulty adjusting, asked how I was doing. … I told her I didn’t like the humidity and that I didn’t understand why all the Black kids seemed so angry. She reached for the bookshelf and handed me a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird and said: ‘Read this — it will help you understand.'” Christopher Anderson, 60, of Gloucester, Mass., felt such a connection to Scout’s lawyer father that he named his first child Atticus. Nathaniel Hardman, 41, of Midvale, Utah, acknowledges: “I know some object to the ‘white savior’ narrative. That’s fine. Let that be part of the discussion.”Signet Classics
1984 by George Orwell
Whitney Todaro, 44, of Louisville, Colo., remembers being so upset by the ending of 1984 that she threw the book across the room. Many of you told us that George Orwell’s dystopian novel encouraged you to think critically, question authority and be wary of state surveillance. There was a strong consensus that high schoolers should still be reading the book today. “More important than ever — but retitle it to 2025,” writes Thom Haynes, 65, of Apex, N.C. Rayson Lorrey, 73, of Rochester, Minn., says, “Teens live in a world partly Orwellian — fish need to understand all they can about water.Continue/Read Original Article Here: 23 books that shaped you in high school : NPR

Hung out yesterday in Seattle with queer TV historian extraordinaire Matt Baume, author of the new book HI HONEY, I'M HOMO, an entertaining, well-researched history of queer characters on American sitcoms and TV specials. He's a nice, smart guy who is clearly enthusiastic about his subject matter. Check out Matt's videos on YouTube.
At the coffee shop, he showed me his dog-eared, heavily annotated copy of my own book, Alternate Channels, which was awfully sweet of him.

Linux Mint’s (Ace) Sticky Notes App Works Great on Ubuntu
If you’re half as forgetful as I am then you’ll… —Nope, sorry; I’ve forgotten where I was going with this, so let’s talk about Linux Mint’s neat sticky notes app instead. I used to use real post-it notes in real life. A ton of them. I’d use them remind me to buy cat food, put the bins out, and unclog the sink. But most of my sticky notes ended up face down on my desk, dog eared and ignored (or, on more than one occasion stuck to the back of the cat 💁🏻♂️). These days I keep on top of :sys_more_orange:
