Libraries matter. Access matters.

After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember.

@arstechnica.com tells the story: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
Internet Archive’s legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost
“We survived, but it wiped out the library,” Internet Archive’s founder says.

The progression of Henry's tyranny in 'The Other Boleyn Girl' is downright chilling in parts. What did you think of how Philippa Gregory depicted the infamous monarch in the novel?

Korede cleans a lot during 'My Sister, The Serial Killer'. Having control over her environment is vital to her. What did you think of her efforts to clean, and the times when she actually made a mess? Email us at worldbookclub@bbc.co.uk to be on the show :)

I LOVED how drenched in colour Mexican Gothic was. Noemí’s dresses, stained glass - even the fog was laced with green and gold. What did you guys think of such vibrancy in horror? Send us your questions for the recording next week! Worldbookclub@bbc.co.uk

One thing I loved about ‘My Sister, the Serial Killer’ was Korede as the narrator - jaded, loving, often tortured by her own guilt and repressed emotions. What did you think of her? Send us your questions by Oct 10th and join Oyinkan on the show :)

The eponymous hound in the Hound of the Baskervilles is a classic gothic monster, but I ended up feeling so sorry for the poor thing. What do you guys think about the 'spectre' at the heart of the mystery?
