We are a small independent bookshop in Chemnitz, Germany and were told that we have to do social media. We decided that if we had to do social media, then our first account would be with Mastodon. :) Hello Mastodon!

I ditched Goodreads four years ago and never once looked back.
I really like StoryGraph - it's simple, clean and refreshingly clutter-free.
And behind it all? The brilliant Nadia Odunayo.

Omgggg!! I just discovered that Project Gutenberg has an automated feed on #Mastodon where they post new books they add!
Go follow them: @gutenberg_new
Hey guys, I'm new to mastodon! I want to make friends on #bookstodon, but I don't know where to start. So can you please introduce me on here? #booktok #books #reading #introduction

So, the start of a new books thread for 2025...Martha Wells & Shauna Lawless were both superb in very different ways. I highly recommend them. Mark Hayden was on fine form with Eight Kings, too. TJ Klune's Wolfsong wasn't far off 5⭐️ but not quite there.

In November 1887.
Arthur Conan Doyle's first detective novel, A Study in Scarlet, is published in Beeton's Christmas Annual by Ward Lock & Co. in London, introducing the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes & his friend & chronicler Dr. Watson.

Seit November ist unser Buchladen ganz schön gewachsen. Deswegen müssen wir heute ein paar Schränke neu arrangieren. Gar nicht so einfach für uns Quereinsteiger. 😅 Seht ihr Bücher die Euch besonders gefallen haben, oder die ihr unbedingt noch lesen wollt. Gibt es Bücher die wir unbedingt noch dahaben sollten?
Liebe Grüße aus #chemnitz

Fine, a belated #introduction. Still searching for my people here. Encountering too many memes. I like levity in my timeline, but seldom like that. Where are the shitposters? The wise-crackers? The dry wits?
Interested in #film / #movies, #books (working on a project to get everything on my shelves read), #blogging, #vlogging, #birding, and #walking (boring).
Raised in #Iowa, live in #Chicago. Would love to find other folks here, but also interested in those in far-flung locales.
In „The Word for World is Forest“ schreibt Le Guin über eine Gemeinschaft von Personen, die kein Konzept von Gewalt kennen, jedoch mit einem Aggressor konfrontiert sind, dessen Verständnis von hu“man“ity sogar Gewalt erfordert. Konfrontiert mit der Zerstörung ihrer Umwelt und der Missachtung von allem, was Sie sind, wehren sich die „Creechies“ und gewinnen ihre Umwelt zurück. Gewalt wird ein Teil ihrer Kultur. Ein Geist, der nicht zurück in die Flasche kann.

"Ameisen" steht in der #Bücherwabe für die These von Bayo Akomolafe, dass wir hinsichtlich der Denkwege, die unsere Lebens- und Wirtschaftsform bestimmen, in einer tödlichen Logik gefangen sind, wie Ameisen in einer #Ameisenmühle: Ameisen folgen den Duftspuren ihrer Vorgänger und laufen im Kreis bis sie sterben.

Believe. And buy her book, you filthy hippies.
“The Onion’s best satire has always been based in both emotional honesty and clearly stated, well-researched facts — in other words, the truth,” Wenc writes. “Its writing staff has now given us decades of brilliant, compassionate, blunt and hilarious critical thinking about news, the media and human nature — and a lot of fun and silliness too.”

In ihrem Essay zu Lessing betont Arendt die politische Relevanz der Freundschaft. Politisches Denken ist parteiisch, dabei jedoch nicht subjektiv oder relativistisch. Allein im Ideal der Freundschaft kann der politische Diskurs vollzogen werden. Das Verstehen-Wollen des Anderen ist die Grundlage von Politik. Die grundsätzliche Ablehnung des Anderen,wie es im totalitären Denken geschieht,ist damit der Tod von #Politik . #Faschismus ist nicht politikfähig.
