Short novella that was recommended by an English prof. I’ve taken to listening to novels and love the local library’s catalogue on Libby and Hoopla. Highly recommend these apps if you haven’t used them. #Novels #SupportLocalLibraries

This, or a TWSBI eco for similar price point and built-in piston filler

Oh nice I didn’t even know this was out there. I wonder if his three volume translation of the Tanakh is the same translation, or if he made changes

Did you forget or is she an Augustinian baby?

I do have thoughts on the biblical parable. I probably have a manuscript somewhere I could send you.

I was referring to the novel by Octavia Butler in this post, though. It’s a wild ride.

Langston Hughes was born February 1, 1902, in Joplin, MO.

Wisdom. Let us attend.

Unsurprising and disgusting.

Wait isn’t your first PhD in science fiction?
