The Odyssey Online classes offer by far the best value for money of all the courses I have taken—by a long way. You have to put the work in. As do your fellow students. But, importantly, as does the instructor. So there is no excuse not to up your game.” -Jack Calverley

Blueish, purplish space background with distant stars and a green planet close-up, to the bottom right, with starlight shining just over the edge of the planet; text: I was looking for a course to really help me level up my writing. Something beyond the usual how-to books and YouTube tutorials. Odyssey Online gave me what I needed in spades: the instructor was knowledgeable and helpful; the assignments were designed to help me grasp the material; there was just enough challenge to encourage growth; and best of all, it’s clear how I can apply my new knowledge to improve my writing. -Nathanael Green

It's the sad end of mass market paperbacks, the format that made books affordable to a wide range of people.

Last Call for Mass Market Paperbacks
After years of steady sales declines, the format will largely disappear next year.

In light of #BrownUniversity /#MIT , anyone remember the 1985 movie Real Genius (about students at an MIT-type college)? Character Lazlo was a brilliant former student who suffered a nervous breakdown & lived in the univ. steam tunnels. Ended up helping the main characters. Life imitating art?
