James Alexander Thom - Tecumseh
Uit de boekenkast van mijn vader, deze vuistdikke biografische roman, die heerlijk wegleest en me toch achterliet met een dubbel gevoel.
175 jaar na de dood van de vrijheidsstrijder Tecumseh is het een witte kolonistenzoon die het boek schrijft. Volgens mij heeft hij het integer proberen te doen, vanuit het perspectief van de ‘indianen’, echt onderzoek gedaan en vast met goedkeuring van Shawnee, zoals zijn vrouw.
Maar toch.

US Book Show Highlights Big Books, AI, and the Value of Direct Sales: Self-Publishing News with Dan Holloway
Last week saw the US Book Show, a single-day but large event that comes far enough after other major gatherings—like the London Book Fair—to feel as though a world of water has passed under the bridge since then.

Middlemarch, by George Eliot -
@bookstodon Often, lonnnnnnggg books get overlooked. (I am guilty of this myself.) So, Bibliophiles, tell us which HUGE tomes are worth the hefty page count.
A few of my rec's:
11/22/63, Stephen King
1Q84, Haruki Murakami
2666, Roberto Balaňo
Gnomon, Nick Harkaway
The Third Person, Emma Grove

Spending the morning with The Essential Plato. I am currently on Protagoras.
I started reading this in May of last year and have been slowly making my way through. I haven't picked it up in a while though.

Are there any books you are intimidated by? There are several that come to mind.
1. Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
2. The Books of Jacob by Olga Tozarczuk
3. ...And Ladies of the Club by Helen Hooven Santmeyer
4. The Executioner's Song by Norman MailerThese 4 are all books I own physical copies of & that I think I want to read. But, gosh.
They are big.
Like literal door stops, especially 1, 3, & 4.
