Good late morning, Nostr! It's 778336, a Sunday, which means I'll be doing absolutely nothing today. Not even posting here (much). I'm probably going to the gym later, but let's see.
PV! ☀️🌅☕️
Yeah, it’s difficult to summarise one’s whole life in books
Bertrand Russell and Oscar Wilde are great! And I always go back to The Catcher in the Rye after all these years 😅
Lots of Russians authors I need to check out. Great list!
Oh, À Rebours/Against Nature is another personal favourite. Nice to see Huysmans mentioned too
Camus, Dante and Nietzsche. And also Dostoyevsky. Good ones
We have some good authors in common, I see. I grew up reading La Fontaine. And I also love Houellebecq. Good list!
The rules: Don't take too long to think about it. List 15 authors (I'm including fiction and non-fiction) who have influenced you and who will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can identify in no more than 15 minutes.
1. J.R.R. Tolkien
2. Donatien Alphonse François
3. Dante Alighieri
4. Umberto Eco
5. Camille Paglia
6. Mikhail Bakhtin (his work on Rabelais)
7. Jean de la Fontaine
8. Mário de Andrade
9. Arthur Conan Doyle
10. H.P. Lovecraft
11. Murray Rothbard
12. Friedrich Nietzsche
13. Ayn Rand
14. H.G. Wells
15. Albert Camus

I had all of my Meta accounts banned (both Facebook and Instagram). Why? Not a clue, as they never gave an explanation. But given all that we know about the Twitter Files today, it definitely looks like I was on some kind of ban list
My late grandmother used to take me to square with a fountain. My earliest memory is playing by that fountain
You can change that in the settings: read all known relays or only the ones to which you are connected
Good point!
