One of these creatures uses the sucker disk on its head to attach itself to a large, fat predator and feeds on the bigger creature's shit. The other one is a remora.

We must suggest the people in what hatred
He still hath held them; that to ’s power he would
Have made them mules, silenc’d their pleaders, and
Dispropertied their freedoms, holding them,
In human action and capacity,
Of no more soul nor fitness for the world
Than camels in their war
He still hath held them; that to ’s power he would
Have made them mules, silenc’d their pleaders, and
Dispropertied their freedoms, holding them,
In human action and capacity,
Of no more soul nor fitness for the world
Than camels in their war

Okay who did this? There is absolutely no truth in the rumour that the new Ann Cleeves novel set in Orkney features the balls of Orkney Library & Archive.
Although it's only published in October so we haven't read it yet...

A magical university, faerie doors, tragedy, ambition, friendship, love, treachery and redemption, come together perfectly. I inhaled this one and now I want more.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

it's Jane Austen's 249th birthday and I hope you'll celebrate by taking a turn about the room, developing a passion for dead leaves, inadvertently falling in love with the last person you could ever be prevailed upon to marry.

For my 3rd reading of Les Miserables, I'm excited to try the Christine Donougher translation. My 1st reading was the version by Isabel F. Hapgood & the 2nd by Julie Rose. Feeling my usual nerves about diving into such long book, in spite of the fact that it's a favorite.

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.
