britt_brooke You would love Paris! 💚 I'm tagging two historical fiction books for you that are excellent French Revolution reads. We took a day trip to Versailles while there and it was spectacular! 8y

Jess7 @britt_brooke Nice! Some historical fiction I love, particularly a lot surrounding the Holocaust (Boy In The Striped Pajamas, The Book Thief and others) but the ones that focus primarily on war and battles don't suit me. I'm also not a fan of historical fiction that changes major events in history in a non obvious way. I am interested in Marie Antoinette though so I'll have to check that one out and I'll look at the other one too! Thanks! 🤗 (edited) 8y
Jess7 No @MinDea is it good? 8y
EllieDottie I also did not like 1984! 8y
Sha0102 I do the same at restaurants and bars waiting for friends! 8y
MinDea I don't know. I haven't read it. Was wondering if you did! 8y

As we invent new principles of organization that make sense In a world of knowledge freed from physical constraints, information doesn't just want to be free. It wants to be miscellaneous.

I was a little late to the Litsy game but LibraryThing has long been a favorite web space of mine, satisfying my metadata fetish. Litsy has really rounded out that experience and allowed a more mobile and immediate way to keep in touch with other book people. Maybe I'll get a ten year badge from Litsy someday. :)
