Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. Once again, thanks for all of the quality posts.

The big news this week is that @cleophas has begun posting his latest book, The Final Product. It’s already obvious that stackers are enjoying this latest offering very much! In fact, chapters from this book accounted for four of the top five posts of the week. I will only post the most popular chapter to the list so that we can highlight other posts, but I have also included The Final Product in the Books index below. Congratulations to @cleophas, and I look forward to the rest of the book.

Due to personal commitments I have decided to push back the next Writing Contest until later in May or June. For those same reasons, I want to let everyone know that next week’s newsletter will not be posted until Monday, though top posts will be decided as of Saturday morning, as usual.

That’s it for now.

I hope everyone has a good week.

The top post of the week will be forwarded 50% of the zaps earned on this week’s newsletter post. Rankings will be determined using the SN zaprank.

Here are this week’s top posts:

Another great poem from stillstackin. Not only that, but he did the proof of work of formatting a poem in markdown. And, yes, next time we do want ee cummings.

I always look forward to @cryotosensei’s blog posts, and I learned few things from this one.

This week’s Golden Oldie:

Today’s Golden Oldie is again from @plebpoet. I admit it’s a personal favorite, but it was also very popular. The post is fascinating in that the poet analyses the thought process that went into writing each line of the poem. I recommend you spend some time checking it out. It is uniquely insightful and instructive.

Inspired by Writing Contest #1, this is where stacker’s bitcoin origin stories will be posted for easy reference.
