News Of The Week
Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts. @plebpoet contributed the top post for the second week in a row. No surprise there! We’re lucky to have her posts here.
This week we also received two more book reviews from @cryotosensei, and @Athena posted two of her bitcoin poems in the territory.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
I hope everyone has a good week.
Top Five Posts Of The Week
Here are this week’s top posts:
- On Encouragement by @plebpoet
- Vote With Your Feet, A Short Story by @ninjagrandma65
- Writing teaches you to develop the ability to understand by @Nadia

Siggy’s Suggestions
I don’t often pick one of the week’s top posts as a suggestion, but this post by @TomK is special. We are all familiar with his high quality posts about economics, but here he gives us something different. We all can learn lessons from the Roman Empire. The post is sort of a book review of a classic. @TomK has inspired me to read it again. It has been a while.
@jbschirtzinger is one of the long content authors who post here. This week one of his posts made the Top Five Posts Of The Week. Here, he gives us his take on the state of the publishing industry, and gives us a look at the challenges he faces. It is an entertaining and informative read.
This week’s Golden Oldie:
I selected this post because I was just having a conversation about this topic. Everywhere I turn people seem to be talking about it. This post prompted some good discussion. Enjoy!
