Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores. This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

La société des cafés de la fin du monde A place for fans of the decadents, the surrealists, the symbolists, the expats, the occultists, the aesthetes, and spooky folks.

Hey, weird book fans...

Join us. We accept you, one of us.

Used book haul. Stoked for more Robbe-Grillet. I'm always down to find out more about D'Annunzio's crazy ass, and I've never checked out any Houllebecq. I'm set for a minute.

Starting on this one during any downtime today.

You can already consider me a big fan of ol' R-G. One novel and one film was all that it took.

Today's reading.

Okay fellow nerds on the internet... let me know which Alain Robbe-Grillet novel I should start with.

I've seen this beast on two apps today. Thank you, Robin haha

I'm finally reading Ligotti's The Conspiracy Against The Human Race. Everyone told me it was bleak and pessimistic, but I was not prepared for how witty and funny it is. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

No, Jaden Smith wearing a castle model on his head to the Grammys is not a "Satanic thing," nor is it a sign that he's in the Illuminati.

It's a sign that he's a fucking idiot.

I only have one language on mine, but I'm on a 9 day streak of learning Irish. 349 xp. (I usually only do one quick session a day.)

My nerdy ass has gotten so bad that when I fall down an internet rabbit hole, I end up asking people for their dissertation on The Morrigan.

I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed.

David Lynch, we are all going to miss you.

Your work will continue to inspire all of us to just keep enjoying the mystery of it all.

R.I.P.

I am always hovering around 6 and 7

Heya!
