Just as the title suggests. For books like 1984, the memory police, and Fahrenheit 451 can we really look at them as pieces of fiction? As readers isn't it our responsibility to question the words that so openly criticise society? And if your answer is no, then who should be voicing out the layered meaning found in these books? What do you all think?

I don't know why I thought this book would be about/from the perspective of a woman, I was kind of thrown when I read "he" 🙈

Currently back in the ER so I would love to head your recommendations for books that feature chronic illness and/or disability!

The world building is confusing me here. I’m pretty new to cozy fantasy so idk if I’m just supposed to accept that there’s all these diverse humanoid species living on a tiny (what should be irl) homogenous island or if we’ll get an explanation sooner or later. Judging from the blurb and setup so far, we’re in for a romance element, but like… what IS Larran? Sure he’s a man but is he half horse? Furry? Antlers? Should I be picturing an animated fawn-like thing for Bryn or does she have a human face? Same with Kiela - as far as I know she’s just a blue hued human. Right now my mind is envisioning a my little pony-type cartoon world which is really throwing me off with the war talk (and I KNOW will be a problem if we get into romance territory).

I saw this on Facebook and thought it was amusing.

Write "My library is a collection of books" and let your predictive texts finished the sentence until you're satisfied.

I'm guessing this is mobile-specific? Do they have predictive texts for PCs nowadays, lol? 🫣

I'll go first:

My library is a collection of books for your rec center and the crocodile Dundee.
