News Of The WeekNews 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.

- 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. - 1917: Lenin, Wilson, and the Birth of the New World Disorder by @kepford
@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.

Thank you for the mention! It got me to go back and read @21futures posts and @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears!
Seeing you lost out all the Bitcoin origin stories makes me want to post mine! Had to document it so I don’t forget it after we’ve all landed in the moon in our lambos.
Stack sats and stay humble. 🫡🚀
Yes, it is important to document your origin story, IMO. I look forward to reading it.
Well now I have to publish! What’s the best markdown editor helper so it looks right?
I'm the wrong guy to ask. I just use libre docs
Who would know?
I think @Natalia might have a good recommendation.
Thank you so much!
I've made it for the first time.
Plebpoet's article is Fantastic and so well written. She is a top class writer.
Everyone remembers their first!
Thanks for the mention. What an honor.
Thanks for the newsletter
All articles are quite good.
Writing fiction is not a very easy task but I believe everyone has a writer in him. There's a little lack of fictional stories here.
Writing fiction is hard. Writing good fiction is damn near impossible for most people. I would like to see more here.
As usual @plebpoet has again done it with creativity. Cool story again! Much like Tostoy's stories where he gives an account of his daily routine in his stories.
Now that we have ~Movies, what are your views about people still posting in here for movie reviews?
Thanks for reminding me. I would prefer if everyone posted movie reviews to the ~movies territory. It just makes sense. If anyone wants to delete their old reviews and post them there, let me know, and I will remove them from the directory. Streaming show reviews are of course still encouraged.
