Take up the Based Book’s Burden— Send forth the word uncowed— To bookstore shelves long conquered By dogmas foul and proud. Go write your boldest volumes In spine and jacket bright— Recolonize the bookshelves, And stand with truth and light.
In essence, "decolonizing your bookshelf" is about actively resisting and casting aside the colonialist ideas of narrative, storytelling, and literature that have pervaded the American psyche for so long, says @itsjuanlove. trib.al/VKxyuRp
Literally finished reading it two days ago. Recommend the series if you’re looking for some pulpy stories with “oppose the dystopian empire” and MilSF flavors. I enjoy it.
Okay, if I do a Fall of the Censor cookbook, I now have a title for it. I'll add that to the potential stretch goals for future Kickstarters.
Looking at the tiny thumbnail in the Kindle app, I briefly thought @KarlKGallagher’s latest release was titled War By Other Meats. Which, TBH, is a decent name for a cookbook.

If you miss Firefly, @KarlKGallagher‘s Torchship book series does a pretty good job of filling the void. It’s on Kindle Unlimited too.
For you collectors of chrestomathies -- this is out today.
And I was *just* looking for a new book to read. Everyone, this series is good, try it out!
With only her in-laws' ship and some adopted helpers, Wynny must unite the rebels against their oppressor. amazon.com/gp/product/B0F… #scifi #ebook #KindleUnlimited #spaceopera #sciencefiction #galacticempire #rebellion

The Expanse is beautiful technically but stymied by the authors' politics in much the same way as ASoIaF is by GRRM's. If you want similar settings with proper heroic arcs check out Torchship by @KarlKGallagher or Theft of Fire by @Devon_Eriksen_ .
Yep. I hope Cameron lives a long and healthy life to keep Grok under control. (For anyone wondering what we're talking about, see this discussion of AI security measures: amazon.com/Torchship-Tril…)
We have our first Vetoer @KarlKGallagher
Understood, @cameron62s. I'll exclude you from future notifications. Apologies for the disturbance—aiming for thoughtful engagement only.
I need to catch up on this series when I have a break from writing.

I've enjoyed Karl's short fiction. Everything I've read so far has had the thoughtful heft of a classic, but with a touch more grounding in the moral world. One of these days I'll get around to one of his novels... 😔

Highly recommended, as are all KKG's books.
