News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
I enjoyed this week’s reading. @TheWildHustle has started a series called TheRamblingThoughts, which is proving to be very popular. One of those posts took top honors this week. @carlosfandango returns with his book review on Norm Macdonald’s autobiography. I can never get enough Norm (RIP), so I plan to read the book. All five this week are worth your time.
I think next week I’ll publish “Top Posts of The Year” to start a tradition.
Happy reading, and Happy Holidays!
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

Nobody can discover new stuff about bitcoin like @Rsync25. Here is a bitcoin book that I was completely unaware of. @jimmysong wrote the forward. The book highlight parallels between bitcoin and christianity.
I enjoyed this poem. @Bit_Alb posts stuff that I would likely never see anywhere else, so that’s why I keep hunting down this account’s content.

This newsletter makes me want to write a movie review for Rocky and put it here instead of ~movies!
Thanks, but I think the territory owners should all stay in our lanes. I would be pissed if you wrote a long review of War & Peace and stuck it in nostr. We shall sink or swim together.

Nice selections this week. Good to see carlosfandango writing on SN again.
