These weekly "Good Reads" is an absolute treasure trove! I only hope they do the same for “Notes” so more writers are easily discoverable. thank you Substack team for curating such an enriching list.
And speaking of exploration, I recently wrote a post about a thought-provoking topic "The Swarm: How a handful of elites control the entire population of the world."
It's a fascinating dive into the dynamics of power and control in our world. I think you'll find it equally captivating, let me know your thoughts.
I adore the fact that Substack is my favorite Substack. Coffee brewed, candle burning, lamp lit, ready to dive into these reads ☕️ 🕯️ 📚 love that you do these, thanks for sharing!
There are some gems in this roundup! Also the AMA was so interesting to read and take part in. I was thankful to ask an expert about AI, creativity, and the future. And I got a surprising and optimistic answer to boot!
There's a crew of readers riding through Substack in an oil rig like Mad Max, kicking up dust clouds and spray-painting their faces, hoping to find an oasis of representation for fiction writers in these newsletters.
"Mice seem unwilling to chew through tent walls, and there are no reports of tent-slashing bears—yet," Rookie Mistakes by Gibson Biddle probably my fav. But I so enjoy these posts. It always opens my mind to other things and parts of the world I rarely think about. Thanks so much!
I merely wanted you to explain why it mattered. But you didnt and seeing as your a self declared MRA it makes total sense. Be a real man and explain yourself. Enough of this prancing around with plausible deniability and dog whistles. Those are tactics for people who live in constant fear and need to be told their thoughts from guys like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate lol
Explain why it actually matters that all the recommendations were women. And don't come back with another deflection, it makes Maritimers look dumb

I’m no fan of conspiracy theories, but this is well argued and your graphic of the ‘club’ of key players is unarguable

This feels like a highly curated newsletter!
Saving Things.
Conrad Wainwright: The Poet Laureate of Beauville: Volume Two
(from A Builder's Tale)
Save the whales,
and Save the bees,
Ban the bomb
and Save the trees.
And ban War
and Monsters too.
Save the Earth
For me and You.
You may be certain
The Earth won't care.
It needs no water
It needs no Air
Planet Earth, will twirl
About in space
Until it's Sun explodes
Or is replaced
A black hole, and void
That might suck you in
(Remember people)
.
There is no God
There is no sin.
Thanks for the shout! 😌
A great selection this week judging by the number of new subs I just started!

These are great. I'd be delighted by more sci-fi and horror picks (not my niche, but very interested in the talent I see out there in those areas).

I'm so CC XXL for going A to a
Great selection, as usual.
Yesterday a half-year event, the ACX Book Review Contest 2023 has finally ended. A selection of great reviews, both of old and new books. Here are the finalists (16 out of approx. 150): https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-contest-2023-winners
I, of course, have a bias, since I am one of the finalists (here is my entry, a review for Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning": https://tapwatersommelier.substack.com/p/book-review-mans-search-for-meaning ), but even putting that aside, it's a list of really worthy essays.
It's unfortunate that all of your recommendations are women authors?
Why? Do you have a problem with women authors?
That's disingenuous! Please read the comment again. I love women authors! I love variety also.
I just looked at your sub stack and it all makes more sense now.
I'm sure you also get upset when someone only recommends male writers too... (That last like was legitimately disingenuous)
Please elaborate how and why my question is disingenuous?
Apologies IF I misinterpreted your comment. I thought you were implying that my comment was sexist.
