Had never heard of that website, googling a bit and it’s already blocked here. Good job, regulation, we don’t need those sites that harm authors.

Latest read. Dr. Jekyll And Mr Hyde is a fantastic story of duality in man, and the aspects of our self we repress either for our own sake or by societal pressures. How much can we shape our own nature, or is our nature completetly shaping us? Beautiful prose by RLS, and a short read. #BookSky

I have the complete Shakespeare in pocket book format, very portable and I really like to read plays on trains or when visiting relatives. Probably also lovely as audio play (but I don’t really do audio plays, maybe I should start with that sometime 🙂).

My thirty-six most-rated books (via goodreads). Seeing these made me realize I only love about half of these 🙂.

Basically this, but more Röstzwiebeln (and a vegan hot dog for me)

It works slightly different in English, but when I learned maths at a German uni I was amused of the definition of ‘gender’.
Because gender is the number of holes 🙃. Very straightforward.

Yes, and when it gets too ubiquitous, gears everywhere...
I like when it looks like someone started by studying something like an astrolabe, or a clock etc.

Latest read (New Testament to be specific). I like the four gospels a lot (best: John, worst: Luke, too crypytic). Good characters, story and a lot of great morals often conveyed through figurative language, rhetorical question, simile etc.

Huh, for supper I like Reibekuchen (potato pancakes - not sure if that is a thing in the US)
Enjoy your culinary unrestrictedness 🙂

Let’s add a John Howe artwork for completeness. He set the look of LotR for me.

I love 80s and 90s fantasy art…Larry Elmore, Boris Vallejo, John Howe (and many others) defined how fantasy looks to me. Hate it when people complain about ‘old-fashioned’ or ‘dated’ fantasy art.

We have ‘public bookshelves’ here, though some are VERY exposed to the elements.

My only (&minor) complaint, I wish we could get more Sha-Kabet. Fantastic character.

Latest read. A globetrotting adventure tale of a Robert E Howard character that I hadn’t seen much before. Absolutely gorgeous artwork, intricate story & characters, I loved it. Rich in history & designs.

Huh, what’s his deal, I wonder. I never even heard the term ‘ragman’, except on a Magic card.

New books have arrived 🙂. Three recommended by my brother, and a comic book I preordered ages ago (I don’t think I ever waited this long for a book…).

Reading Gen X right now, and digging the design, powers, and character of henchman Fever Pitch. A more extreme Chamber, where his abilities burned away everything but his skeleton (and presumably, keep him alive).

Browsing public domain books on amazon to break one’s heart 😬. The fourth one is okay (movie poster), the first is horrible AI and the other two are just bad.

Latest read. A story in the tradition of legends like Sir Orfeo and fae tales like those of changelings. A tale of two worlds (material & transient vs magic & eternal) colliding, and the love between members of both worlds. Whimsical read, could have done w/o the unicorn hunting though.
