..I truly #believe people who #read #books ..are much smarter than those who do not #readbooks ..

Alberto Manguel writes in A History of Reading, “Throughout the South, it was common for plantation owners to hang any slave who tried to teach the others how to spell… The slave-owners (like dictators, tyrants, absolute monarchs and other illicit holders of power) were strong believers in the power of the written word. They knew, far better than some readers, that reading is a strength that requires barely a few first words to become overwhelming. Someone able to read one sentence is able to read all… For all these reasons, reading had to be forbidden… An illiterate crowd is easiest to rule; since the craft of reading cannot be untaught once it has been acquired, the second-best recourse is to limit its scope.”
— Papyrus: The Invention of Books in the Ancient World by Irene Vallejo

“Maybe that’s why I tend to equate physical beauty with qualities with which it has absolutely nothing to do. I see a pretty mouth or a moody pair of eyes and imagine all sorts of deep affinities, private kinships. Never mind that half a dozen jerks are clustered round the same person, just because they’ve been duped by the same pair of eyes.” — *[Francis] “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt*

Visited the #PlanetWord museum in DC for the first time this week. Nice privately-run educational facility with cool installations and interactive features about words, #languages, and #literacy! For all ages. Beautiful building. And they have an interesting restaurant as well. ☺️📚📝✍️ #readbooks

Der Bodybuilder Dustin Pace hat nicht nur einen ziemlichen tollen Insta-Account (non_toxic_masulinity), in dem er sich viel mit Männlichkeit, aber auch mit den #BookBans in den Staaten beschäftigt. Pace trägt in seinen Reels stets politisch korrekte Shirts und vertickt diese sogar noch über seinen Shop. #ReadBooks #LiftWeights #FightFascists https://non-toxic-masculinity.printify.me/

#ReadBooks! And good ones... 😜📚 The friends of our local public #library were holding a book sale last week. Our shelves are already full. But when you love #books (and libraries) that doesn't matter! 😊 Got a dozen of titles. Just a couple of air & space items this time, though. 🫤

For once I'm going to recommend a non-aviation book... If you read Portuguese and you are interested in the Indigenous peoples of Brazil, don't miss Raoni: Memórias do cacique. Far from a conventional (and sometimes sleepy) bio, this important work features a unique collection of stories and memories about the past, the present, and the future of the Amazonian tribes and their struggle for the recognition and protection of their rights. #ReadBooks

This book profoundly impacted my worldview. This observation is an illustration.

The answers one gets depend upon the questions one asks, and the questions one asks depend upon one’s purpose and place in our society.
