📚Promoted on Substack this morning
Struck me as an interesting read for a number of Micro Bloggers including 🖇️ 🔎The Readers Republic
True Dat
In fact coincidentally just about to put out three different offers over the next two weeks.
📚 🪦 🔗12 Authors Who Died In 2021
Of interest to *🖇️ 🔎The Readers Republic
📚 🚧 Funny how you come across stuff that is so cool - and then it disappears again … such as the Literature Map
I used it to create a 🔗 series of 7 posts last year and then it got lost.
Maybe something to use in the 🖇️ 🔎The Readers Republic?
🖇️ 🔎The Readers Republic Signal Group Is Now 13 Strong

Just started to read:
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman 📚
never heard of book or author - but when Ian Rankin writes;
“So smart and funny. Deplorably good.'
How could I resist?
According to Kottke via @alans
A flying start for the nascent micro blog reading club - have you flagged your interest yet?
It just occurred to me that people who check on ‘reading’ in the Micro Blog timeline using 📚 might have missed the call for people interested in a Reading Club … so ‘belt and braces’ it is!
📚 Thinking out loud here. had a couple of back and forth with the literal people and we now have a club there specifically for micro blog people.
Most of their clubs seem to be around genres ours is around who we are.
I think Neil must have just read Flatland
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott 📚
📚Want to read: Four Laws That Drive the Universe (Very Short Introductions) by Peter Atkins.
Currently reading:
Sapiens - Graphic Novel 01

📚
**Notes:** I mean - *don’t not* read the original book, but this is a fun way to engage with Harari’s thinking.
Finished reading:

Bookshelf now enabled on Microblog.
Some clean up and updating in front of me - meanwhile - a test post.
A Confederacy of Dunces … John Kennedy Toole
How could I resist adding a never to be repeated bolt of excellence that came from ‘nowhere’. Smallcreep’s Day was the other choice.
