News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts. @speakingyourtruth, as expected, posted a book review post, and it made the Top Five Posts Of The Week. I hope to see more in the future. @cryotosensei has two posts in the Top 5 this week, as he keeps us up to date on the trials and tribulations of his interview saga. I also want to mention @Nadia’s post about Macchiavelli’s letter, another Top Post which I have also chosen as a suggestion post this week.
As always, please reply to this post with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
I hope everyone has a good week.

I really liked this post. I knew nothing about this letter. It amazes me what posts turn up here on weeks where things seem kind of slow. I’m grateful for that.
This is a book review post about a subject that I know nothing about. Thanks to @itermathi I intend to learn more soon.
This week’s Golden Oldie:
"Fear of a Black Flag" -- Alan Moore's 2010 essay on anarchy by @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears
Still Stackin usually shows up here for poetry posts. This one, however, shines a light on the often, and often intentionally, misunderstood and inaccurately defined notion of anarchy. I highly recommend this post.

I like the article from @speakingyourtruth so much. One because it has many book reviews in one article. Second it's precise.
All other articles are also very good. Today I read the story by @grayruby, it's very interesting.
Thanks for the newsletter!
Thanks for reading it. Our tastes are similar.
Yes, these stories are truly inspiring! Now I'm reading @Coinsreporter's. He seems to have gone through a lot of hardships in his childhood!
Thanks for reading it! I actually don't remember hardships. It was time of my life that made me what I'm now, so I just remember it as turning me into a hard man after a hard childhood. Haha!!
Thanks for reading it.
thanks so much! hope to bring more of these to the community :)
I've also added an article today. Let's see may article fares among all such great articles.
What's your biggest Turning Point in life?
I read it. Good post which will inspire good conversations.
Thank you so much! I feel privileged to write here among such a community of great minds.
Interesting stuff this week! Sensei wrote about his 1.1 m achievement as an article and @Tristan wanted to know about some favourite podcast in ~booksandarticles! Are these signs that this territory is much more wider than we assume!
Podcasts can be relatable to modern Books and articles though!!
Sensei has been posting this type of stuff here for a while. He started a blog here. Tristan's post may be more of a one off. I think the territory got the benefit of that post from cheap fees!
Congratulations everyone great posts. Learning a lot. Thanks for sharing.
We're short on book reviews. Everything else is A-OK. Nice work!
@Nadia's post was such a cool addition. I felt like I was back in school. Fortunately, she didn't assign us any homework on the text.
thanks as always ☺️
Thank you for your always valuable contributions.
Grateful to appear in the weekly newsletter!
Thanks for supporting the territory!
Thank for recap, your awesome
