If you have your own domain name and a web site please send me a mention with the link. I'm especially grateful for webmasters who publish RSS feeds of their sites. I am avoiding all big tech sites as much as I can. This means I am mostly avoiding free blog sites, forums, most social media (except some Fediverse), video sites, substack, whatever. I am truly interested in reading and viewing only subject matter published by webmasters who have taken the time to set up their own web sites. This separates most low-effort work from real work.

[@bookstodon@a.gup.pe](https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon) Title: Millions of cats Author: Wanda Gág Original publication: New York: Coward McCann, Inc, 1928 A short, syrupy, predictable children's fable that is totally worth it. The story has a multiple morals entwined in a five-minute read without being moralistic. Although a children's fable the moral is every bit applicable to adults and even old codgers. I adore old writings such as this. This is a free Gutenberg book available at the link below.

I've finished the third and fourth entries of the saga. In "The Farthest Shore" the magic is running out of the world; Ged and the prince of Enlad part in an adventure to find out what the problem is. It's a book full of adventure, visiting many Islands in the archipelago. In contrast, "Tehanu" has a slower pace. It's a fantasy novel in which dragons and magic are not in the foreground. It answers the question How does the dispossessed, children, women, handicapped, live in a world with magic? And doing so makes you think about the power relations in the so called real world.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 153. Each of Emma Newman's Planetfall quartet explores a different aspect of the same overarching story of religious driven intergalactic migration. In Atlas Alone (2019), the fourth story centres on an elite gamer & their attempt to uncover & then take revenge for a crime against humanity. To say much more would ruin the plot for you, but as with the others, this is great, fascinating sci-fi, which has a great payoff at the end.

Short Stories. Love ‘em, hate ‘em, somewhere in the middle? Years ago one of my dear friends (who is a huge bookworm) and I were talking. She told me she hated short stories. I can’t remember why or if she even told me a reason. This conversation has stuck with me, because I struggle with them- why? I have no idea. I have tried different tactics to overcome this.

Anger, Mercy, Revenge "Raging with an inhuman desire to inflict pain in combat and shed blood in punishment, it cares nothing for itself provided it can harm the other: it throws itself upon the very weapons raised against it, hungry for a vengeance that will bring down the avenger too."

The Complete Poems of Michelangelo There is no artist more celebrated than Michelangelo. Yet the magnificence of his achievements as a visual artist often overshadow his devotion to poetry. Michelangelo used poetry to express what was too personal to display in sculpture or painting.

I love [#MurielSpark](https://kolektiva.social/tags/MurielSpark). 'I am a descendant, do not forget, of Willie Brodie, a man of substance, a cabinet maker and designer of gibbets, a member of the Town Council of Edinburgh and a keeper of two mistresses who bore him five children between them.' She is so cruel to her characters. What a brilliant thing to have Miss Jean Brodie say. It has to be one of the funniest lines in literature.
