There's a trend pointed at here that I see increasingly. It’s a little fuzzy, but broadly it’s around the idea that meaning must be fixed, literal, and “scientific.”

Thread to make blonde non-Jewish geeks angry:

I can’t believe there’s controversy over sprayed edges on books and it’s just whether it’s frivolous or not.
I feel like when ebooks are easier to obtain, and often cheaper, hardcover physical books *should* be beautiful objects. Should feel luxurious.

What is book criticism, and why do we need it?
What makes book criticism good?
Should book critics just praise excellent books, or harshly criticize the books that fall short?

I realized I have a favorite comfort YA subgenre and would like recs
It’s the “successfully impersonate a member of the royal family or you get killed” subgenre
(I will not be taking questions about WHY at this time, just recs)

Looking at @BenYehudaPress's Jewish cat calendar page for February...
Me: "Ooh, Uncle Robert's book [Five Books of Moses] is in this month's calendar picture!"
