  2. Finished selecting and ranking the Readercon panels I'm interested in being on this year. Volunteered to moderate for all of them, because I'm a teacher. Moderating discussions is what I do. All day. With adolescents. It's my jam.

  3. The Best Host Gifts That Aren’t Wine—And Always Get Compliments

    We may not all agree on whether or not sugar belongs in cornbread (we support your choice either way) or if Maryland counts as the South (for what it’s worth, we say it does!), but there’s one rule on which we and our readers share an explicit agreement: You should never, ev…

  4. @kkarhan yeah, that's gonna be out of budget...

    - I propably will have to look at some used market items on ebay.ar or someplace else...

    I'm not a "techie" so I don't feel comfortable trying to #mod a used #Kindle...

    - Maybe if some student fishes one out of the trash and makes it work as a studpid reader I'd look at it...

    Thanks anyway.

  5. I love books about Asian Horror Cinema, especially Japanese films.
    The sad thing is that many of them are out of print and ridiculously overpriced.
    Sure, I could download PDFs, but I still prefer physical books for future reference and research.

  7. Hey, #mystery #reader, I've started working on the third book in my Lily Gallagher Mysteries series. Would you read this book based on this brief description? And does it sound like a cozy, or like a thriller (or something in between)?

    See below, and let me know in the comments. [1/2]

    github.com/mozilla/standards-p
    #Google continues their strangling of the #open #web - most influential was maybe killing the #Blogosphere and giving rise to the #corporate #platform #web by sunsetting their #Reader.

    Now another #monopoly is used to get rid of human-friendly xml documents. A thing many of people involved in the decision likely can't imagine and many people familiar with the corporate platform web won't miss. They're fine with a browser that can render animated #advertising and are not interested in documents which their attention span doesn't allow to read them anyway.

    Exceptionally sad, yet not surprising, is that Google is aided by #Mozilla and #Firefox in doing so.

  20. A quotation from Proust

    In reality, every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer’s work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. The reader’s recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book’s truth.
     
    [En réalité, chaque lecteur est quand il lit le propre lecteur de soi-même. L'ouvrage de l'écrivain n'est qu'une espèce d’instrument optique qu'il offre au lecteur afin de lui permettre de discerner ce que sans ce livre il n’eût peut-être pas vu en soi-même. La reconnaissance en soi-même, par le lecteur, de ce que dit le livre, est la preuve de la vérité de celui-ci.]

    Marcel Proust (1871-1922) French author
    Le Temps Retrouvé [Time Regained], ch. 22 (1927) [tr. Moncrieff/Kilmartin]
