Bought Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
Because I haven't read it before, and NOW seems like an EXCELLENT time to own a PHYSICAL version of the Book. 😑

@screwturn Devastated. Loss of permanence and source of truth. Probably another nail in the coffin of humanity as we know it. Plus I would put up ethical paper production against e-devices (lithium, plastic, energy usage, etc etc etc) any day of the week. #Books #PhysicalBooks #BooksForever

@qurlyjoe So, true story. A library I used to work for was a "Library of Congress" archive -- and had microfilm as well as original documents and periodicals. A few years ago they went digital. Good luck finding some of those after Trump & fiends delete digital archives!

Physical books are better than e-books. You own physical books unlike e-books. You can easily pirate digital versions of these books.

Why the Brain Prefers to Read on Paper
by Kris deDecker, October 25, 2013
" 'Beyond treating individual letters as physical objects, the human brain may also perceive a text in its entirety as a kind of physical landscape. When we read, we construct a #MentalRepresentation of the text in which meaning is anchored to structure.
"The exact nature of such representations remains unclear, but they are likely similar to the mental maps we create of terrain—such as mountains and trails—and of man-made physical spaces, such as apartments and offices.
"Both anecdotally and in published studies, people report that when trying to locate a particular piece of written information they often remember where in the text it appeared. We might recall that we passed the red farmhouse near the start of the trail before we started climbing uphill through the forest; in a similar way, we remember that we read about Mr. Darcy rebuffing Elizabeth Bennett on the bottom of the left-hand page in one of the earlier chapters.
"In most cases, paper books have more obvious topography than onscreen text. An open paperback presents a reader with two clearly defined domains—the left and right pages—and a total of eight corners with which to orient oneself. A reader can focus on a single page of a paper book without losing sight of the whole text: one can see where the book begins and ends and where one page is in relation to those borders. One can even feel the thickness of the pages read in one hand and pages to be read in the other.
"Turning the pages of a paper book is like leaving one footprint after another on the trail—there’s a rhythm to it and a visible record of how far one has traveled. All these features not only make text in a paper book easily navigable, they also make it easier to form a coherent mental map of the text.' "

My Black Friday Sale starts in 10ish hours!
Have you been wanting to make a fansite but actually... what do you put on a fansite? What sort of things do you put on there? Where do I get fun graphics? How do I set up an RSS feed? How do I export my twitter threads?
Good news, I wrote a book on that!

I absolutely loved these books because I love the concept of an Omniparasite that can manipulate any living matter into forms that it can use and control. There's another book in this series that precedes the two but I'm not loving it. Theses two though? First rate!
