News Of The Week

Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
This has been another good week for the territory. @DarthCoin had the top post with a “copy/paste” of the book “The Basic Laws Of Human Stupidity”, by Carlo M. Cipolla. The book has proven to be very popular. Give it a read.
@cryotosensei posted the first movie review in the territory. Be sure to read his take on “How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies” in the new Movie Reviews section.
@BTCLNAT gave us "My journey with Bitcoin: the experience of an ordinary Cuban." I have highlighted the post as a suggestion, and you can also now find it in the My Bitcoin Journey section.
We also have a new work of fiction, as @ginkgo posted the first “block” of And Then She Disappears. Spoiler alert: Satoshi is a woman.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

Top Five Posts Of The Week

Here are this week’s top posts:

Siggy’s Suggestions

We are fortunate to have people from throughout the world on Stacker News. This post gave me the opportunity to learn about Cuba, which has been somewhat of a mystery for people living in the U.S. This is @BTCLNAT’s “Bitcoin Journey” story. I hope it’s just the first of many posts as bitcoin takes hold in this isolated, authoritarian country.
Another post of original poetry by @Malachi17. I feel like I learn something from each of them.
This is the first block (chapter?) of an original work of fiction (?) by @ginkgo. I am looking forward to reading more as the tale unfolds weekly.

Nice logo. Good job @plebpoet. I remembered the Himalayas of India. Next May and June I will try to post photos like this. but there will be no printer

The logo is sorta meant to interpret the feeling that reading something really immersive invokes. So you could be anywhere in your mind, a quiet place if you're absorbing information, or the world constructed for you if you're delving into fiction. And we're all accessing this through our screens and devices, but in our mind through our language, we can go limitless places.
Just thought I'd spell it out in case it didn't land visually.

I identify with the man in that logo :) Struggling between living in the mountains and in front of the screen.

@car your audiobook survey was closer than I expected it to me.
reply

Any books people reading focusing on positivity and looking at the glass half full? I'm trying to be more optimistic (especially with this election stuff going on).

Hey, if you are learning something from my poems, that's the best case scenario!

I love how you input extra spacing between your paragraphs/points! Small but mighty change
