Since A Simple Carpenter by Dave Margoshes appeared on scene a little over a year ago, I’ve been telling anyone who will listen about how extraordinary it is—and I’m thrilled to get to share it with listeners at The New Books Network.

I am one of the authors whom Meta stole (sorry, ‘scraped’) from, by using their books to train Libgen. So I’m biased. But this from @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social is👌

Repeating, for the folks in the back: what's been done to Palestine; what's been done to Ukraine, is an advance reading copy of a dystopian bestseller, and also a warning. Looking at you, Howard fucking Lutick.

My first book was published almost ten years ago and has been out of print for the last couple years. But every year, I still get a cheque from the Public Lending Right in Canada because people still take my book out of the library! Thank you, readers!

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

Welcome, newbies! I'm a medical historian who likes to remind people the past was pretty awful.
If you ever wondered what would happen if you needed a leg amputated in 1832, or if you had a toothache in 1765 - look no further.

“Bibliophile”

A bibliophile is someone who is absolutely crazy about books! Someone who has more books than they'll ever have time to read in their lifetime, yet still buys more. Someone who even loves the smell of books (vellichor)
