The title story of Anna Seghers' The Dead Girls' Class Trip is so good I read it again after finishing it.

It happens with genre stuff on IMDb too, they don't weigh votes equally, so accounts with broad & regular voting histories carry more weight than focused genre-fan votes. Not sure if goodreads does something similar.
The new booker prize winner having a lower rating than Colleen Hoover is certainly something

My cousin's feedback on this - "Notself review I have read. It was nice. But I think you could have mentioned something about the music and dances also."

Are we a civilised country? Think hard. And go ahead- call me anti national- but if you are silent about such law and order, or human rights, it is you who are anti India!! @India_NHRC

For context, he was acquitted in 2002 for saying Islam is a stupid religion, as it did not qualify as incitement to violence. This time, the court ruled otherwise, and I agree with them. Anyone can make up their own mind by looking at the interview.
Michel Houllebecq, the author of “Submission” - the international best-selling book depicting France folding to Muslim immigration - was just criminally charged by France for hate speech.

Sharing my Vonnegut postcard. Me (sophomore in college naively wanting to be a writer): "What's the secret to it all?" Vonnegut: "Only a person of deep faith can afford the luxury of skepticism." Happy Vonnegut day to all who celebrate.
"Call me Jonah." On the 106th anniversary of the birth of the great Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., another nod to Moby-Dick in cool ass art: Vonnegut's CAT'S CRADLE. Both Ishmael & Jonah narrate the story of another's obsessive chase that can only lead to doom. Spring call opens 11/15.

India joins an elite group of 4 countries with 100 or more grandmasters. Notably, India is the only country whose first grandmaster, Anand, remains an active elite player, currently ranked world No. 14 in live Elo ratings.
Anish Giri on India's 100 Chess Grandmasters - "They timed it so well with Diwali - they are so good they can choose and time it.... the one who became the first Grandmaster, @vishy64theking Anand, is still very much up for it!"

Mohammad Sharif, who spent 17 to 18 years in jail before the Allahabad High Court acquitted him in the 2008 Rampur CRPF attack case, was shot dead in Rampur moments after leaving a police station that had repeatedly summoned him, prompting Rihai Manch to demand an impartial probe into possible police involvement. @ghazalaahmad5 reports: maktoobmedia.com/share/11691…

The plot device of an amnesiac character writing a letter to his future self predates Memento by at least 40 years, originating in Vonnegut's 1959 novel The Sirens of Titan.

None of these writers are as influential as Tulsidas.
The three most influential writers of every century: 16th century William Shakespeare Miguel de Cervantes Michel de Montaigne 17th century John Milton Molière John Donne 18th century Voltaire Jonathan Swift Samuel Johnson 19th century Leo Tolstoy Fyodor Dostoevsky Charles Dickens 20th century George Orwell Virginia Woolf Gabriel García Márquez 21st century J.K. Rowling Haruki Murakami Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie This is my selection based on literary influence, cultural impact and enduring readership. Who deserves to be replaced? And which writer have I criminally left out?
