The young Anton Chekhov searches for his voice

Community iconc/books@lemmy.ml by

This book collects 58 pieces of fiction that Anton Chekhov published between the ages of 20 and 22. Many appear in English for the first time. In her introduction, Rosamund Bartlett refers to the material with disarming candour as a ‘wholly unremarkable debut’. Is there ever any point in publishing juvenilia?

Giving It a Try

Community iconc/fiction@literature.cafe by

I tried to read Stephen King several times across the years and I don’t know, it never worked. Tried his short stories, the different genres he wrote, … a bit of everything. It frustrated me a bit because I loved every single adaptation from his work in TV show or movie form.

Why do you write?

Community iconc/keepwriting@lemmy.world by

When asked this, my first answer is “because I can”, which usually ends the conversation but it’s an escape, not an answer, I’ll admit to that.

Non-dystopian SF for a change!

Community iconc/books@lemmy.ml by

A refreshing change from the depressing dystopian science fiction which seems to be de rigeur these days. And ironically, that makes it more like actual science fiction than the “realistic” SF that just brings me down.

It was never that great to begin with, but now it blocks me because I use a VPN, and worse, it forces you to create an account if you want to do anything more than a superficial search. So much for free and open inquiry!

Searching for eBook reader solution

Community iconc/books@lemmy.ml by

I bought myself a fancy new TLC 11 Nxtpaper Gen 2 with a cool e-ink type display. It’s an android tablet and I’m breaking free from Apple. That means no more Apple Books for my epubs. That also means, I’m now looking for a good solution to annotating epubs/pdfs (mostly highlights) on Android. I’d loveeee it it had some bring your own storage sync (webdav) or just plays well with the local storage for using syncthing etc. What are the best options?

What's the weirdest typo/error you've seen in a book?

Community iconc/books@lemmy.world by

I’m currently reading “The Number of the Beast” by Robert Heinlein. Book is from the 1980s, and there’s a completely doubled up paragraph in the book! It spans two pages but the image shows enough I think.

I have seen many people these days addicted to Tiktok, youtube shorts, or Instagram reels. Myself included, I feel like not many people read books these days. I for one rarely read normal books, but I do read a lot of manga and webtoons. My question do you consider them as reading?
