News Of The Week
Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
The usual suspects provided the territory’s top posts this week. @plebpoet created a seasonal meditation video which I really enjoyed. You can hear her talk about it on this week’s SNL live.
@denlillaapan had three of the top posts this week, led by his latest installment of the Jordan Peterson Bookclub. It’s always worth checking out @denlillaapan posts.
@cryotosensei gave us a deep look into a Japanese book store. I have always loved book stores, and they aren’t too many left where I’m from. I really appreciated the post and the many photos.
Happy reading!
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

Siggy’s Suggestions
This is another great post by @Bit_Alb that didn’t get the attention it deserved. It is a book review of “The Transparency Society.” I really hope we see more posts and reviews from @Bit_Alb. This one is worth your time.

I started the Wheel of Time series, which is over a dozen books. The only one I will have finished by the end of 2023 is book 1: The Eye of the World.
So far, it's a very compelling fantasy adventure: great detailed world building, multiple distinct perspectives, nice pace of exposition.
