The Cool Stuff Theory of Literature states that all literature consists of whatever the writer thinks is cool, and the reader will enjoy the work to the degree that the reader and writer agree about what’s cool — and this functions all the way from the external trappings to deepest level of theme and to the way the writer uses words.

Here's another #hotTake: internal chronological reading order is an embarrassing desecration of a book series
Order as written means that insights appear for the reader as they appear for the author
I really appreciate that in the #vladTaltos books #StevenBrust set out to make internal chronological impossible

Huh, it looks like I'm about to read the last of the #StevenBrust #Dragaera novels which has a mass market paperback edition (Jhegaala, 2008).
Now I'll have to figure out how I want to continue reading the series, since I ha-a-ate the trade paperback format, especially when I already own the whole rest of the series in mass market.
Might just go with the library.
(I didn't finish Kage Baker's Company series until after she passed away (!!) because the fourth book never came out in mass market. I finally read the rest on Apple Books.)

‘‘‘Left’ and ‘right’ mean the same thing today that they’ve meant since the French Revolution. Ask someone, ‘What’s more important: property rights, or human rights?’ If they answer: ‘Property rights are human rights,’ they are on the right.’’

IV. Tsalmoth by #StevenBrust
Longrunning Brust hero Vlad Taltos has been convinced to recount the story of how he and Cawti came to fall in love, and how they planned their marriage. This is quite an adventure – it plays out against the backdrop of a gang-war within the Jhereg organization, with Vlad in severe mortal peril that he can only avoid by uncovering an intricate criminal caper of crosses, double-crosses, smuggling and sorcery.

CW: Long thread/14
The sf writer #StevenBrust says that the test to tell whether someone is on the right or the left is simple: ask whether property rights are more important than human rights. If the person says "property rights *are* human rights," they are on the right.
The state response to the Luddites crisply illustrates this distinction. The Luddites wanted an orderly and lawful transition to automation, one that brought workers along and created shared prosperity and quality goods.
