I didn't like animal farm that much
My biggest complaint was how thin the allegory was. Like, Orwell didn’t have to use animal farms at all, it read like a history lesson for most parts. I felt between chapter 3 to chapter 8 were mostly just boring and pigs Doing a power capture slowly. Did chapter 3 to 8 help create the impact of chapter 9 and 10? Absolutely. Could they have been done better? I think so, it didn’t have to be read like a history lesson.

Looking for book recommendations.
Been on a long nonfiction run. I'm tired of learning about stuff. Just need some fiction. Something creative, something neat, maybe adventure, maybe dystopia, maybe gangster with a heart of gold, maybe breaking the psyche, world traveller, bicycle mechanic, just about anything.
Anyone reading anything great these days?

Master Slave Husband Wife
The 2024 Pulitzer Prize winner for Biography by Ilyon Woo that tells the story of Ellen & William Craft + their escape from slavery in 1848 Georgia. Ellen, whose father was a white plantation owner was enslaved by her half sister, working as a seamstress + house servant. William, her husband, worked as a hired out carpenter for his master. Ellen who was extremely light skinned disguised herself as a wealthy southern planter while William portrayed her slave in order to make their escape. The 1st half of this book is a gripping tale - the 2nd half however looses the thread as Ellen + William travel to England - their story gets lost amid the politics + the stories of other abolitionist who help them on their journey.

Yes, folks, I wrote a romance novel! It's Minoan-themed (a total surprise, I'm sure 😉) and is set among the bull leaping community of ancient Crete. It's lightly spicy - apologies to those of you who were hoping for more steam. It is, however, plenty angsty and emotional, and it has the desired happy ending, because Adelphos and his new love deserve that much. For more details, and plenty of places to find it that aren't named after a South American river, go here:

‘Being human helps’: despite rise of AI is there still hope for Europe’s translators?
A booming tech sector has disrupted translation jobs in publishing – but they could be needed for a while longer yet In February 2022, while he was plugging away at rendering the US writer Dana Spiotta’s novel Wayward into French, the literary translator Yoann Gentric decided he needed a bit of light relief. He would test whether AI could put him out of work. Gentric had been grappling with a short non-verbal sentence that described the book’s protagonist’s feelings upon opening a window: “Bright, sharp night air, bracing.” He put the prompt into DeepL, a neural-network-powered machine translation engine that regularly outperforms Google Translate in…

I'm posting stuff on #queer #books mostly, and occasionally #trans stuff, #theatre and #StarTrek.

Ponyboy (Eliot Duncan) – I'm a sucker for atmospheric prose, and Ponyboy seemed to give prose that echoed the protagonist's own chaotic, drug scrambled perception of his world in Paris and Berlin. It can make it a confusing read at times, but I felt that very much kept you inside Ponyboy's head as he gets trapped in his cycle of drugs, booze and godawful relationship choices.
For as much as I enjoyed that, I felt it was lacking enough threads in the final act to tie the themes together. On it's own, it's strong. But set against a large number of tragic and self destructive queer stories, it was hard to see this standing out and offering something beyond a final movement past hopelessness and into recovery. In many ways, that mirrors stories that stem from the personal. But for a story that can be so evocative, I felt it had more to give in this current climate than what was said on the page.

My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, and spectacular #horror #books far and wide.
Illuminating, concise, and chock-full of fascinating details— with images of pages and ephemera pulled from King's personal archives— this book provides a truly unique and one-of-a-kind window into the Writing World and Words of Stephen King. An absolute joy for any Constant Reader. (Hogarth)

Finished this genre challenge on StoryGraph! It took a long time, but it was fun and definitely got me to read books I wouldn't normally pick.
I wish Letterboxd had challenges like this.
