News Of The Week
Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
@plebpoet led the way this week again, this time with a short story. I was happy to see two short stories posted this in fact, as @eduardopro gave us one of his too. For those who are not familiar with this account, Eduardo Prospero is a Venezuelan journalist and fiction writer. You can find his story in the index below.
There were also good book and show reviews this week. Thanks again.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

Siggy’s Suggestions

The Penguin: Best mob show since the Sopranos? by @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears I was immediately turned off by the DC Comics Superhero franchise, and at first I thought it was a Sopranos/Scorsese ripoff. I was completely wrong. StillStackin has found a real gem. I watched the first three episodes and I am hooked. The writing and acting is much better than than the usual crap that gets churned out. Watch it.
@kepford’s short, hybrid link post/book review highlights two men whose decisions still affect us today. I have just started really delving into WW I history, so I’m adding this book to my reading list.
