After reading the comments here I have been convinced we should create a list of these artists, and none of their content is welcome in this community.

Main points being:

• allowing their "nice" content creates a pipeline for users to their bigotry
• having it signals to new users we are ok with content from bigots
• it should make moderating easier because there is no need to deliberate what is ok by that creator

Nazis, racists, transphobes, homophobes are not welcome here under any context!

This isn't book burning. This is more like we're refusing to print and distribute more copies of their books for them.

Just finished Martyr! and now I'm reading Neuromancer.

Martyr! was good, though I didn't really enjoy the last couple chapters. It felt rushed to meet a deadline.

I'm only about 20% through Neuromancer. It's good so far. Sci-fi is my go to.

I finished a Confederacy of Dunces, and Three Body Problem. Now I'm about ⅓ through The Dark Forest.

I'd recommend all three of these books!

A Confederacy of Dunces is a Pulitzer prize winning comedy. By the end of the book you really like Ignatius, even though you hate him in the beginning.

The other two books are part of the "Remembrance of earths past" trilogy. Easy recommend for sci-fi fans.

I love my Kobo Libra Colour!

I have only good things to say about it.

• great screen size
• love the colour for covers when it's on standby, and for if you read anything with images
• battery life is good
• holds a ton books
• works great with loading your own books from any source
• the device follows right to repair guidelines so you can fix any broken part without having to buy a new device

That last point really puts it above and beyond any other e-reader out there!

Just finished System Collapse by Martha Wells (book seven in the Murderbot series). I liked all the books in this series, and they are an easy recommend!

Currently reading How to be Perfect by Michael Schur and Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann.

How to be Perfect is a good intro to ethics written by the creator of The Good Place. If you're interested in learning about ethics and don't know where to start I'd recommend it.

I'm only a couple chapters into Three Bags Full, so I don't have much to say yet. The premise is a flock of sheep solving the murder of their herder. It's enjoyable so far.

Just finished "How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder" and "Binti"

The former is very good lit fic. It does deal with some tough topics including rape and murder, but it's very good. Highly recommend.

Binti is very short, but well done. The book won a Hugo award.

Currently reading "Blindsight." It's also quite good, though I'm only through the first section.

How to do Nothing - I'm about halfway through now and liking it more, but not a lot. Still waiting for actionable items instead of the author just quoting a bunch of other writers.

A Confederacy of Dunces - I read the first chapter a while back and bounced off it, because the main guy is too insufferably realistic to how many Americans are. Started it again and I'm really enjoying it now.

I'm reading Stranger in a Strange Land and How to do Nothing.

I'm really liking stranger in a strange land. What he imagined as sci-fi is interesting especially if you remember it's written in the 60s. Lots of dialog, which I enjoy.

I'm not loving how to be perfect. I'm about 25% through, and it feels like most of it could have just been a blog post. Very verbose for the content provided.

I'm reading "This is How You Lose the Time War" and "His to Be Perfect" currently.

I recommend both of them!

I'm currently reading Martyr! I'm about two thirds of the way through. I like it, but I definitely like all the other characters more than the main guy.

Anna's Archive!

If you want to support the author you can still buy the physical book and donate it, or see if they have a patreon (or similar) to donate to.

Playing DS1 with my husband using the seamless co-op mod! I'm excited as he's never played it before, and he wouldn't play it on his own.

I'm so glad the mods exist, but why can't fromsoft just add this into their games?

Not patient this week. Playing Crimson Desert.

I'm really liking it. It's giving me the same kind of joy Skyrim did when it first came out.

I'm reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

I'm not sure how much I like it. It does a very good job of giving a look into African society around the time of slavery and missionaries, so I can see why it is touted as such an important novel. That said, I don't love the writing style or the characters.

Woodworking by Emily St James is an amazing book. It's fiction about a trans woman in her 30s finally coming out, and a trans teenager who has already been out for a while.

Windows on this computer unfortunately. I'm not sure how well it works on Linux. I'm worried about that too, that's why this computer still has Windows

Thanks for the heads up about redemption of time! I heard about it, and was unsure whether I was interested.

Just finished Blindsight by Peter Watts and The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler. Both are very good books that I highly recommend. Unbeknownst to me when I picked them up, they are both about consciousness.

Just started Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky and When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi. I'm liking Service Model so far. When the Moon Hits Your Eye is a bit cheesy (sorry for the pun).

Just finished Ella Minnow Pea because of someone's suggestion here of good epistolary novels. It was great! Highly recommend.

Reading Woodworking by Emily St James currently. It is also incredibly good! I can't put it down.
