I know that's right Lena. It's pretty significant in this time period and this culture setting for her to even be reading her brother to filth like this, but she's so righteous in doing so. I hope he takes heed to what she's saying. The quiet ones are most dangerous

Oh my god... Morrison really knows how to sprinkle in such miniscule story fragments and then before you know it you're staring right at an intricate web

Sitting here this morning sipping my tea as we prepare for the first blizzard warning NYC has had in a decade and wanted to send out a big blanket of safety to anyone else in this storm’s path! Be sure to take all precautions and have any necessary supplies (food, water, medications, flashlights, batteries, pet food, etc)
Hopefully everyone can spend the next two days bundled up inside, staying warm and cozy with the perfect book 📖🫖☕️🔥

There are so many books I want to promote and recommend to fellow Boundlings, but they simply weren't translated into English!! This frustrates me so much! If you read in multiple languages, has this happened to you? Drop those recs in the comments!
For me, it was when I was reading Chain-Gang All Stars yesterday that I realised that the premise and criticism within is similar to Les Furtifs by Alain Damasio (dystopian novel where cities are owned by brands and the daily life of citizens is completely taken over by capitalism). I love Damasio's work but I understand why it could be difficult to translate, and I also wonder if there really is a market for his type of writing outside of French speaking countries.
Well, that was my rant... Sorry about that!!

Post from the Frankenstein forum
So, I already knew that there were two different versions of Frankenstein when I originally read it, but it only has come to my attention now that I may have unknowingly read the 1831 version instead of the original 1818 version. What brought this to my attention was the video essay dissecting the differences between the two by Madison McMahon, and as I got further into the video I went "wait a minute..." and dug out my edition from the stack and, sure enough, there's a note from Mary Shelley in the front dated 1831. It's strange how nowhere else on my copy does it even think to mention that it's not the original, but then again, maybe to publishers it makes more sense to put a disclaimer if something is an outdated edition than a revised one? But I digress. I'm actually going to stop watching the video at the point where I realized what version I have, because now I actually wanna go back and read the original and figure out if I feel any different about it. I already know that tonally they're supposed to feel completely different, and that alone is already compelling enough for me to give this one another go. No wonder sometimes I would hear other people's thoughts about it and feel like I was missing something! I was!!

What's your weird/unhinge reading or bookish habits?
let me just preface that most of my friends' first impression of me are weird and a quiet one. They're wrong on the latter of course cause I was almost always reading when they'll first see me. Anyway, my weird bookish habit is when I take a break from reading a book, I'll read a book. That mostly will be reading children or novella like Roald Dahl's or RL Stine's Goosebumps books. When I'm really reading, I read up to 4 books simultaneously cause I take a break in between those books haha. And the break I mentioned is when I want to take a break from my 4 current reads

I thought if any group of people would appreciate this, it would be this one! In the Fall I got this phone case, mostly for aesthetic reasons. I thought it was beautiful and filled with so many fascinating critters 🐞🐌🪲
I had no idea that just a few months later I would be on such a fun and informative journey to learn more about the big impact these little guys have on our planet. Once you know better, you can do better.
Now I have a newfound appreciation for this case and it brings me even more joy when I see it every day. And the best part is… it’s eco-friendly and compostable! 🙌🏻

I've made this year's (whats left of it anyways because I let a month go by already) mission to engage more with classics in literature, particularly the ones in this quest. however, I am not quite sure on where to begin, so if anyone has any suggestions for a starter id be eternally grateful!

For me, it’s definitely The Shining. It hits a part of me as an adult that I can’t describe.
