Recently, I asked which Austen/Bronte character you would interview, and I still maintain that it would be Wentworth for me.

Book 12 - My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante
I loved this. It's full of contrasts, and the mundanity of ordinary life is bought sharply into focus with short, sharp bursts of violence. I was engrossed in Lila and Lenu's losses, victories, and frustrations.
4.5/5
Chris Hemsworth as Thor as Mr Darcy? Yes, please!

If I record myself reading a copyrighted book and share the recording with some friends (for free), is that copyright infringement?
If so, can I claim fair use by, idk, dressing up in a funny outfit or something and turning the reading into a performance art piece, which I then record and share?
Is it copyright infringement to extract the audio from said recording of such a performance art piece and share that? There must be a legal way to do this...
Fahrenheit 451. By Ray Bradbury.
It’s the future, and your job is to burn books found in people’s homes, as they are illegal; you never questioned this because everyone is fine with this idea since books were replaced long ago with more entertaining visual media, but then something makes you want to read one of these books, and a different kind of flame is lit inside you.

I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.
Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:

I need suggestions what title it is he's looking for... 
My guess is he's looking for "The adventures of Sir Puff'nStuff, mostly stuff but also puff."

A game of secrets and lies. ‘Bloody Orkney’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland, mainly in Orkney, during World War Two. It uses many real settings.
Ness Battery near Stromness helped guard the western entrance to Scapa Flow during the war and can still be visited today, as it was by the book’s characters in November 1942. This modern image shows the battery observation post and fire command.

#FinishedReading a history and literary analysis of walking at nighttime in medieval to Victorian London. It sometimes wanders off track or ambulates in circles, but at its best it reads like an academic textbook crossed with Mervyn Peake: "even in the day, industrial pollutants rendered the air fuliginous". #Bookstodon @bookstodon
