Met Mastodon heb ik hetzelfde als met boekwinkels:

Als ik een boekwinkel inloop, dan weet ik dat ERGENS een fantastisch boek voor me staat.

(Zo'n boek waar allemaal oren in gevouwen kunnen worden.)

Maar toch laat zo'n boek zich niet gemakkelijk vinden. En verlaat ik vaak boekloos de winkel.

Hier, op het voor mij nieuwe Mastodon is het ook zoeken nog. Naar 'ezelsoor-waardige posts' - die passen daar waar ik nu ben. Benieuwd.

''Hop, hop!'

Marvellous! Both the book itself, as well as other works by Rufus Butler Seder that it led me to.

Recent verschenen: "Notities van een theoreticus" van Shi Tiesheng (vert Mark Leenhouts). Gerolstoeld schrijver laat in dit eigenzinnige zelfportret zijn eigen herinneringen samenvloeien met herinneringen aan een handvol anderen, mensen van wie hij het leven op verschillende manieren door het lot getekend ziet. #Boekenweek

One of my goals for this year is to read more books about the climate crisis. I picked up this Dutch books at the library a while ago and today I had to return it so I finally finished it. The title translates to "Apparent temperature" and it is a collection of four interviews with Dutch weather presenters about their thoughts on climate change.

I thought it was a pretty recent book, but it turned out the be written in 2018. Maybe (quite likely) the people interviewed have since then changed some of their opinions and maybe even changed some things in their personal lives. Reading this now, they seem far too optimistic about the government taking the climate crisis seriously and also some of their personal "sacrifices" seem very minimal, such as "only flying once a year for going on a holiday".

So this one may be a bit outdated, but it still reminded me of how important the fight against climate change still is. Even when it is no longer possible to actually stop the climate from changing, at least there will be more time to adapt and the effects will hopefully be less serious.

What is a book about the climate crisis that you would recommend?

I'm currently reading The Hobbit for the fifth time and once again really enjoying it✨ The copy I'm reading is actually a slightly battered film edition, but this Dutch edition I also have is much nicer.

I remembered the book mostly as a quest story, but I was pleasantly surprised by the humour. Especially the "good morning" scene in the beginning is such a fun way of showing how British people can be quite indirect sometimes.

Marković beschreibt in ihrem Buch die groteske Tristesse dieser Hauptstädte. Mit ihren Superheldinnen, die nicht wissen, wie sie ihre "hungrigen und nervösen Biographien" erklären sollen, aber dennoch ihr Leben meistern, gibt das Buch auf skurrile Weise Kraft und Mut, diese Groteske zu überleben, auch hat es eines der "bösensten aller Happy Ends".
2/2
