Me rereading a book I've read at least five times before, every time there's a revelation, despite knowing it was coming and knowing exactly what happens next: OH SHIT

For my mission of reading a book from every country of the world, I am currently at Angola and reading "A General Theory of Oblivion" by José Eduardo Agualusa. I'm half-way through it and it's soooo good! Definitely recommend it (if the second half keeps up, but I have a good feeling).

I started reading A Song of Ice & Fire (source material for Game of Thrones) years ago. Book 1 was OK, & book 2 had decent intrigue, but book 2 also had a LOT of filler. Martin just dragged it out & milked it for all he could. It was originally sold to his publisher as a trilogy, then became 4 books, then 6, now 7 (because book 4 supposedly had to be split in 2).

It's a shame. The characters are done well & the dialog is good. But I'll just wait to read the summaries.

Help: Is there any Mastodon instance for fiction readers and the discussion for the same?

It is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for rich text to get into Heaven

I want to write a free, copyleft book about how to thrive on low income in the USA, because all the books on personal finance give advice like "don't buy a latte every day," instead of "first, get your staples at the food bank, and *then* any other food via food stamps."

I've been writing an outline, and I need more sources. What books and links can you tell me about that are like more the food stamp example? (And please retoot!)

See you on Monday!

This weekend I'll be reading: Under A Yellow Sun, Freedom or Death, and Tales from Earthsea
