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.

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:

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.

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