Slaughterhouse Five
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you

The Blues Brothers: antiracist, antifascist, ACAB, great soundtrack. Aged better than virtually every other 80s comedy.
What movie do you think is a lot deeper than it is typically given credit for being?

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Despite the headline it’s not George RR Martin personally going for them cos he’s rich and famous. It’s all of us.
The test case used his work, but it’s about the plain-as-day issue that ANY generative AI ignores and infringes copyright, by passing off.
That’s a win for basic law.

Joanna Ho and Caroline Kusin Pritchard, authors of THE DAY THE BOOKS DISAPPEARED, had their elementary school author visit canceled when they arrived and students were waiting for them.
