90kg of relatively inert mass, obsessed with books; unpleasing to the eye. Too fat to ride a horse, too poor to run a carriage. @causticcovercritic.bsky.social

going to start an account that just posts images like this and screams "UNHYGIENIC!" at them, like Naomi Wolf falling apart at the sight of a 5G tower Image [hysterical with rage] UNHYGIENIC! Image

You know what, let's do more great short books. Round two coming up, several recommendations a day.
51. AN OBSCURE MAN: Marguerite Yourcenar
Astonishingly convincing novella about a 17th-Century Dutchman, his travels, his loves and his failures. Found in this collection (also available as 'Two Stories and a Dream'), with its equally successful sequel novella, A LOVELY MORNING. Image

What happens next is all @wovenstrap's fault. He suggested I do a list of 30 short but great books that can each be read in a day for someone in isolation/quarantine. So here we go! 1. THE DUEL: Joseph Conrad: genuinely funny novella about a Napoleonic officer being stalked over a period of years by a madman determined to fight a duel Image

The sporadic throughout-December thread of EXCELLENT BOOKS WHAT I READ THIS YEAR: "The Last Window-Giraffe: A Picture Dictionary for the over Fives" by Péter Zilahy, translator Tim Wilkinson: wonderfully playful sort-of memoir about growing up in Hungary and being in Serbia during the collapse of Yugoslavia, all in the form of a children's encyclopedia.
