Jesus Christ, it's taken me months to realize that this is the Book Bam and not the Book Barn.

Goodreads is having a bug where it won't show the reviews of people I follow. This happen to anyone else?

No, it's only a problem on the pages of specific books where both friends and followed people have reviews posted.

Is it weird that I prefer to measure books' lengths in terms of Kindle's "location" statistic?

Any articles talking candidly about what it's like being an audiobook narrator?

Clicking on amazon pages for books in google search always results in "Sorry! Page Not Found."

I don't know where to post thoughts on the book I'm currently reading if it doesn't fit into any of the big threads. Posting in "What did you just finish?" seems dishonest.

Thinking of finding a place to sell my books other than ebay - is it possible to make sales on Amazon if you're not one of the established resellers?

LibraryThing has much less clueless recommendation algorithm than GR.

I don't find reading ebooks on my phone to be too unbearable, apart from the risk of draining the battery.

I'm so used to idealization of various native American peoples from a left-wing communalist perspective that seeing the right-wing individualist version surprises me.

Sorry my vote kept it that way.MisterBear posted:Is there an existing thread for Military/War novels? If not, does anyone have some recommendations for decent books in the genre? Ideally naval, WW2 onwards, well written and on the realistic side. It's been a few weeks but I've been quite enjoying Bomber by Len Deighton, which tells the story of a single bombing raid on June 31, 1943.

Marooned! On Mars with Matt and Hillary is two professors chilling and talking about science fiction, mostly Kim Stanley Robinson's books but also various movies they've been watching.

Speaking of Proust, I recently came across the argument that Shelby Foote was America's greatest admirer of Proust, and that his Civil War trilogy made copious application of Proust's techniques onto the telling of history. That sure puts it in a curious light.

I was under the impression that "crypto-Jew" was probably already a part of the anti-semitic lexicon.

My ability to follow what I read often has more to do with my mental state than the qualities of the text itself.

I'm reading An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us, and the first chapter is about dogs and their smelling. It's an interesting reading experience because I already have a rather weak sense of smell - so it's totally out of my experience when people describe smelling the body odor of people standing near them, or even flowers and perfumes. So they are to me what dogs are to everyone.

mellonbread posted:The nice thing about New Sun is it doesn't require you to solve all the mysteries to have fun. It's not like Fifth Head where you have to figure out the puzzle in order to enjoy it. It can just be a dark fantasy adventure story about a hosed up guy in a hosed up future. I don't really have any clue about the deeper things going on in Fifth Head and I enjoyed it.

LibraryThing and StoryGraph are better features-wise, but GoodReads has the larger userbase.
