The best things are done for the fun of it. Keep on at it!

Ebooks.

I get that the stories are the same, and I get the appeal of a glowing page at night.

But my copies of LOTR and To Kill a Mockingbird are from the 60s. Can you pass down a Kindle?

Can you stumble upon one by accident?

Books are the keep in a world of technological overreach.

'The Law of the Jungle is a guide, not a cage. Learn it, but do not let it bind your spirit.'

Ever wanted to just up and 'Neverending-story it' into something you've written?

Horror writers probably not, but anyone else?

Line-by-line edits on a chapter draft today.

Therapy.

Time-consuming. All kinds of frustrating. Once or twice appalling. Still therapy.

It is! Great spot! Great book, too.

Every day's a school day

I know it means this... but it doesn't feel like it means this.

Probably because it's got phlegm in it.

Words to live by!

Exactly this!

I'm in a book! ... kind of...

Keep writing anyway!

Beats the alternative.

Say what you will about the messy stack of notebooks, they have nice binding and they never try to sell me anything.

The burning it all down and starting over 👍

An image of a bird-like character lifting another up from a broken crown with black-eyed Susan flowers behind them. The logo says "No Kings." This was made in collaboration with @indivisible.org, @moveon.org, @aclu.org. @50501movement.bsky.social, @publiccitizen.bsky.social. Please join us at the next No Kings Day on March 28th.

❌👑No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

I've collaborated with @indivisible.org to create this personal piece. It means everything when we lift each other up and show up~

no problem! Fingers crossed it goes well!

I suppose a month's long enough for the assignment to get buried in general life and nonsense! Still a little rude though - it's not easy sharing your work and dispiriting when people don't engage with it when you do!

hmm, actually just saw you already answered this. The irony. Read a short section and discuss in the meet-up maybe? Keeps it focused on your member's work if nothing else
.

Road to hell... good intentions... etc. I'd be annoyed too though.

How do you break the book up? Do you go chapter-a-week or read at your own pace?

The book clubs I've been in tend to work better when the reading's set like homework.

Ever read the last chapter of Ted Hughes' book 'The Iron Man'?

It's an important one for the goings on in the world at the moment.

Kahlil Gibran October 1928

Michael Ende, Astrid Lindgren, A.A. Milne, Ted Hughes.

That'd be my personal 'Mount Rushmore'...

And to do the same but of their books:

The Night of Wishes, The Brothers Lionheart, The House at Pooh Corner and The Iron Man.

Michael Ende with his customary timelessness...
