From my recent #poetry #reading #books

Everything except language
knows the meaning of existence.
Trees, planets, rivers, time
know nothing else. They express it
moment by moment as the universe.

First verse of "The Meaning of Existence" by Les Murray, 2002.

What is a #book character you wish were real or you could talk to?

I've always wanted to have a chat with Cyrus from the Mysterious Island by Jules Verne!

Another random question: have you ever read a book published after the author died?
A: I'm reading a book where the author died before finishing so the daughter finished it and got it published.

And more pics of my books cos I've got bills to pay ;)

The #Incas called the month of May "Zara Muchuy Quilla" or "Aymoray Quilla".

It was the time when dry corn was stored.

The corn goddess, Saramama, features in Intrepid Dudetres of the Inca Empire & Inca-tastic Tales. Both out now!

Photography and Art. A man in shorts and a white T-shirt stands on a stack of books about 2 meters high and looks over a beige wall. Behind it, tall green trees can be seen. Info: Downey creates mostly three-dimensional objects in public space. He himself describes these works as sculptures. His art also has a strong performative character.

"The Internet #Archive has transformed thousands of references to books in #Wikipedia into live links to digitized books, allowing users to link book references directly into Internet Archive #books. Diving deeper into a subject will be a single click and readers may preview the book and, if they want to read further, they can borrow the digital copy in a way that’s analogous to how they borrow physical books from their local library"

Boosting this with alt-text because #librarians rule! 💪

I love the last panel. 😊

#Libraries #NoLimits #Books #Reading
Four three-panel comics together in one block. The comic is "Unshelved" by Gene Ambaum & Bill Barnes, the first scenes are all in front of a very large bookcase and the last have a plain background. The first series is a young black boy talking to a white male librarian: Boy: Can I check out this book? Librarian: Yes you can check out ANY book. B: ANY book? L: If you can reach it, you can check it out. B: What if I can't reach it? L: Then I'll do it for you. 2nd panel B: My teacher says I need to return this book. It's above my reading level. L: So? B: So I can't read it. L: Maybe you CAN. Maybe you can't. Maybe you can read part of it. Maybe you just want to look at the pictures. You can still keep it. B: Forever? L: No. B: Worth a shot. Third panel, now including a white teacher T: Did you tell this student he could check out this book? L: Yes. T: Are you aware that it's well above his reading level? L: Don't care. T: We have A POLICY! L: I love the sound policy makes when I break it. Fourth panel: T: I'm very disappointed you let kids check out just ANY book. L: Why, which books did you want to censor? T: What? No! I just want to make sure they read within their capabilities! L: And I want them to know they have no limits.

This year, try #indie authors ;)

I loved researching for these books and discovering incredible people from history- the first woman to go down the Amazon River, Inca princesses forced to marry conquistadors, survivors of the rubber boom...

Links are also in my bio.

Napoleon's Kindle: See the Miniaturized Traveling Library He Took on Military Campaigns

Every piece of technology has a precedent. Most have several different types of precedents. You've probably used (and may well own) an eBook reader, for instance, but what would have afforded you a selection of reading material two or three centuries…

Hey everyone. I want to invite you to the newest #Bookwyrm instance, https://Bookwyrm.Tech that I built. I'm now a #fediadmin! It's open to new uses.

The #fediverse community I hope to build is for readers that tend to read technical books more than others. I plan on adding lots of content throughout the year, so please join us to make it a wonderful place for hackers, programmers, system admins, and gamers.

Here's the blurb! I'm excited to have all these stories in one book: the kidnapped Inca prince, the last Inca priestess, the first ever "chocolate trees", the first woman to go down the Amazon River, survivors of the rubber industry... and so many more!

For kids who love
Learning
Exploring
Adventuring
