News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
It looks like 2025 might be the year of @denlillaapan. He’s got four posts in the top five this week. He is single-handedly raising the level of discourse in this territory, so we all need to step up our game. We are also fortunate to still be getting quality book reviews from stackers like @carlosfandango and @jbschirtzinger. We are also still seeing plenty of good content that is not getting the engagement and sats that may be warranted. That hopefully changes as we all adjust to the bull market and the big changes at Stacker News.
Happy reading, and Happy New Year!
.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

I think this RamblingThoughts series by @TheWildHustle is an excellent idea. This example contains practical advice on getting the most out of nostr. Check it out. I learned a lot.
I had to dig deep to discover this tiny gem. It went almost completely unnoticed, except by @carlosfandango. His comment, taken together with the original post, could have inspired a worthwhile discussion at another place and time. Here’s the chance for that to happen now, if anyone is still reading :)
