Added this to my Salvation of the Reader essay as footnote: Hoe lossen we de leescrisis op? - NTR Wetenschap : the end of this video is exactly what I mean about starting with the love of reading, explaining what they read and why,...
It is October. Time, as always, has flown. My writing has slowed, but my mind, as always, has not. Let’s recap. Life September began with the familiar buzz of a new year, both at school and at work. Fresh goals, fresh strategies. New...
This essay is a reflection on the book The crisis of narration by Byung-Chul Han, read during the summer of 2025. All the quotes are from the book. Because we lack sufficiently strong communal narratives, our late modern societies are...
I devoured these pages in two nights. I had promised myself three, but after meeting my second goal, I couldn’t stop. I needed to know what came next. What came next was life. Life and death. And that was it. The story was hauntingly...
I added a similarity map using custom tags for my books. They will now show the top 3 matching books according to these tags. But the tags are a manual job... so it should take me 2 - 3 months to complete at a rate of a couple of books a...
Just went to linkedin — I log in like every few months. I see a post of someone I know, super smart and energetic, her own walking brand. Then I read what she posted to increase her customers — she's freelance — which at first looks...

I was supposed to stop reading and go sleep. But then that proceeding scene against Morton sucked me in. I'm so glad I'm rereading this! I missed so much the first time around. You learn to read, but you still need to learn to Read. Then...
adding tags to my books so I can later create a story of "related" books list, BUT, it's making me want to re-read a lot of them. Ahhh, maybe next year is re-reading year. 😅 #booksThank you for following my feed! ♥ Leave a reply here.
Autumn is here!This season I want to savour my big books, on my couch, under the warmth of blankets and my rob. A good cup of tea. And enough light to read them. Let the cozy days begin! #reading #books #cozydays #coldThank you for...
Ohhh this is where I got hocked up last time I read this book! The SI! The Silken myths! Is like getting on a rollercoaster ride and reaching the top before the thrill of the real ride begins. Ah! This is why I love Sci-fi! ??
👽 I have a literature problem. After reading those 2 books by Sayaka Murata I need to go back to my Sci-Fi books. BUT, I have the whole collection of Xeelee, the whole collection of Expanse (reading with the bookclub), the 2 Commonwealth...
I can't remember much from when I read this so long ago. But some things I'm noticing, how people deal with immortality while in my head the fact that you can transplant consciousness is almost impossible. But in this universe, being...
I don't get out. If everyone's blind, and it's only been one day, why is everyone killing themselves without first trying to figure out if there's help or cure? Seems rushed and lazy. I'll keep reading out of curiosity and hopefully it...
