News Of The Week
Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly. Zapping is down on Stacker News, and this week it was really noticeable in the territory. It’s a shame, since we are still getting plenty of quality content. Maybe we need a nice, long bear market to get things rolling again.
As a reminder, substantive submissions that make the top five posts of the week, AND that are original work not published elsewhere, and that are NOT just link posts, will be zapped 1000 sats.
Reminder: For the time being I will zap the top post half the rewards I receive about twenty four hours after the post, rather than split zaps into cowboy credits. I have forgotten to zap the top post a few times. I apologize, and I won’t be offended by a gentle reminder.
Happy reading!

As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

Siggy’s Suggestions
I am a memoir junkie, so I immediately was intrigued by this @denlillaapan post. The fact that Rob Henderson praises New York City didn't hurt either, to be honest. I bought this memoir and I’m about a third of the way through it. It's a good one. Don’t expect over the top dysfunction porn like The Glass Castle. Instead, Henderson chooses a direct, matter of fact style as he relives his disastrous childhood. After I finish it I plan on checking out some of his other work.
We’re living through a really low sats zapping phase in this territory, but this post certainly deserved more attention. I had never heard of Wabi sabi, imagining it was related to that green stuff I love to eat with my sushi. @cryotosensei wrote a great introductory post, which everyone should read. I have included this post in the book review index.
