“You can’t judge a book by its cover”*…
The first lines of Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities… Fair enough. But you can sometimes get a pretty good feel from the first several pages. And there’s a website available to help…
Read an endless stream of free book samples. Reveal and save the ones you like.
Judge a book by its writing: “Uncovered Ink.”
* Common idiom

As we browse, we might send engrossing birthday greetings to a writer whose first pages are highly likely to compel you, David Mitchell; he was born on this date in 1969. A novelist, screenwriter, and translator, he has authored nine novels, two of which (number9dream and Cloud Atlas) were short-listed for the Booker Prize; one of which (The Bone Clocks) was long-listed for the Booker and won the World Fantasy Award. His 2016 work, From Me Flows What You Call Time, was the second contribution to the Future Library project (to be published in 2114).

Today my beloved and I were watching a murder mystery (#Ludwig an excellent show with #DavidMitchell) which made a passing reference to the 1963 Hasbro game “Mousetrap”. She mentioned that she would have loved to play it as a child, but her set was incomplete and did not work properly.
I turned to her and said, “no way! It was the same at our home too. Our game was missing bits and wouldn’t go either!”
37 years as besties and we still have special discoveries to make.

Listened to the first episode of the new podcast "In Your Spare time: From the blog of Ursula K. Le Guin", where #ursulakleguin s blog is read out by different people.
The first episode featured #davidmitchell , who read her first blog post and then told about his relationship to LeGuins work and to her personally as well. Very nice and interesting!
Look forward to the coming episodes.
I highly recommend!

"The working of democracy and the electoral cycle routinely condemn us to this kind of poor decision. In many ways, it is pretty repellent.
Nevertheless, the problems with dictatorship are far more savage. Why do 52% of young people not realise that?"

Why are these the only options? This is warmed over Cold War thinking. Given two options I choose the third, especially when it comes to political-economic systems.

Unfortunately for David Mitchell, Generation Z know him as that guy from that Nazi meme ("our we the baddies?") so I don't know who this scolding is for?

Just found out there is a new crime series on BBC with David Mitchell solving the murders, essentially playing himself, but as a police Officea. Or actually, the twin brother of a police officer, and this is not a spoiler, the trailer reveals it. I sure hope our local broadcaster will buy the rights. (Or that I can get iPlayer to work through a VPN, haven't tried in a while, maybe VPN makers have won the game against geoblocking?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imTyEPCAbc8 #DavidMitchell #Ludwig
