Enshittification by Cory Doctorow
The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow
"Fantastic book. I’ve never liked Austen spin-offs before, but this was so rich and textured. I could have done with less time covering the main stories from P&P, but I suppose it was necessary to fill in Mary’s experience of those events. The book re" Read more of this review »
His Other Wife by Ava Strong
"People don't really talk like this

This book is ridiculous and poorly written. The dialog is unbelievable (absolutely no one speaks this way), the main character is an idiot, and the premise of the book is underwhelming, to put it nicely. I am shocked" Read more of this review »

Aja and 93 other people liked K.J. Charles's review of My Big Fat Fake Marriage:
My Big Fat Fake Marriage by Charlotte Stein
"This is a remarkable book, in that I was absolutely persuaded by the heroine's feelings of both love and lust for the hero, while finding him to be a total turnoff myself. It's not that the character is badly done or flawed, but rather a purely perso" Read more of this review »

I'm reading this book now and i don't understand why the narrator sounds like a crotchety boomer when a) the author is much younger and b) going by his daughter's age he's not older than 45-50, so clearly Gen X with all the modern understanding and p ...more

R. Buckminster Fuller
“I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.”
R. Buckminster Fuller

Jane Austen
“I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like”
Jane Austen, Emma

Dante Alighieri
“Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate.”
Dante Alighieri, Inferno

Akira Kurosawa
Mifune had a kind of talent I had never encountered before in the Japanese film world. It was, above all, the speed with which he expressed himself that was astounding. The ordinary Japanese actor might need ten feet of film to get across an impression; Mifune needed only three feet. The speed of his movements was such that he said in a single action what took ordinary actors three separate movements to express. He put forth everything directly and boldly, and his sense of timing was the keenest I had ever seen in a Japanese actor. And yet with all his quickness he also had surprisingly fine sensibilities.”
Akira Kurosawa, Something Like an Autobiography
