For those of you pondering whether to go to see the new film of Ulysses, or not, I have a better suggestion for you:
Why not read Natalie Haynes 100 Ships that re-tells the Trojan War & its surrounding myths from the perspective of the women involved (both gods & mortals).... and let's just say Ulysses doesn't come out of it that well.

About the book -
As the climate worsens, a growing share of the world’s poorest people will be forced to migrate in search of relatively more habitable places just to survive. Refugees - climate or otherwise - are routinely denied this possibility and those who succeed in migrating are often deported. Yet, millions are on the move every year, routinely migrating in terrifying conditions that result in thousands of deaths.

Sequoia, a city of climate refugees, has to decide whether to thrive in a future built from scratch or to barely survive because it cannot let go of its past.TinJar
"[T]he message sent to the industry was clear: If you work with #Jewish #authors, it will cost you.
Aware that even the staggering evidence I was amassing remained anecdotal, I wanted to find a way to track the impact of what was happening more empirically.
I turned to #PublishersMarketplace, the leading industry database where many #book deals are announced, and reviewed #fiction deals for #books by #Jewishauthors that publicly signaled Jewish or #Israeli content. What I found was grim. Between 2023 and 2024, there was a 76% decline in fiction deal announcements to large presses that mentioned #Jews, #Judaism or #Israel. The numbers improved somewhat in 2025, but they did not recover. Compared with 2023, announced sales of #Jewishbooks were still down 47% at large presses.
And the early 2026 numbers are worse..."

I'm a prophet! A friend sent me this link, as it reminded her of the bio-metal in my new book, where scientists hack a worm so it produces metal instead of silk. I thought this was from my wildest fantasies, a plot device to enable a #solarpunk future without capitalism, governments, or military, but it is an actual science, and it also involves a worm.
So fingers crossed for other predictions to come true!

The internet did not kill reading. It changed the way we read, rewarding fragments over depth, outrage over understanding and speed over thought. Meanwhile, misinformation is free and the truth increasingly sits behind a paywall.

Meine Bücher sind insgesamt toll für den Urlaub, weil es sie alle als E-Books gibt. Man kann also alle mitnehmen, ohne sich zu belasten. ^^
Aktuell empfehle ich aber meine Märchensammlung "Der Atem des Drachen" besonders, denn die enthaltenen Märchen sind witzig, gruselig, spannend und vor allem machen sie Mut und Hoffnung. Beides können wir gerade sehr gebrauchen.

Actually, you know, I post links to my #books and then I might later comment without a link, and someone might say "What books?" or something.
And there's a kind of confusion. With all that the web is, people still don't get the message.
Then I go on #Bandcamp and I listen to a song then I look at how to buy and there are options and then there are millions of albums you can buy and then I close the window and move on without buying.
The web lacks a clarity.
People just want: Buy this --> Link to thing.
It's not an unknown phenomenon. It's your frontal cortex or something. If something means you have to do a bit of thinking, people usually turn off.
Why does the web make things so complicated all the time? Why is it not just: Make thing --> Here is the thing.
