When I was young, my father took me to a beautiful library, although I was blessed with books of my own, including The Little Prince, The Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings. It was a magical experience to be in the presence of so many books and the smell! I remember choosing Edith Hamilton’s Mythology.

My pleasure! Love and shared. 💙
Great choice, and a great example of a faithful film adaptation of King’s work. This book certainly influenced me from an early age. I read it when I was about sixteen years old and quoted the Hitler line in a school paper.

Great advice. Everyone’s voice and writing style is individual. Unique.
I would add: Remain confident and stay true to yours. No matter what.

How does one “show” without a bit of “tell” in a novel? Most well-written, distinguished books have quite a bit of description & narrative. I believe this rule was meant for screenplays & plays, but not necessarily for novels. Different mediums entirely—although, excessive exposition is odious.
Thiel is behind this move. He is invested heavily in psychedelic pharmaceuticals.
Four out of five is good, isn’t it?

Parody of activist artist Shepard Fairey’s famous “HOPE” artwork featuring former President Obama. On the left, a portrait of a smiling Pope Leo with the caption: POPE. On the right, a portrait of a frowning Drumpf with the caption: DOPE.
Actually, it’s rather simple. 😂

Perhaps not quite up to the Great British Baking Show’s standards, but these turned out pretty well.

Bibliognost 1. A well-read individual. A person who possesses an encyclopaedic knowledge of books and bibliography. “Gerald quickly discovered that being a bibliognost was going to come in handy in his new job at the library.”
