I’m currently reading The Moor’s Last Sigh by Rushdie. His narrators tend to be wacky and his characters often do unconventional things, but when you read these books, you never feel like someone did something out of character. You read something outrageous and still feel like the character would definitely have done or said that.

Consistency in character.

Thanks for the support, gabe. That’s a very healthy approach to the Fediverse.

I’m planning to keep this as a personal instance for experimentation. Running an instance for people takes a lot of time and responsibility and i don’t think i have much of either right now. 😜

Setting it up made me appreciate how complicated the Lemmy setup is and also how little original literature-related content there is in the lemmyverse. Whenever feasible I’ll try to contribute code/docs to Lemmy and content to literature.cafe. You’re doing a great job with this instance. There’s no reason for me to run a shitty alternative until you decide to return to Bikini Bottom.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check them out.

TIL that e-ink display smartphones exist.

I was a huge fan of the Harry Potter series growing up. Order of the Phoenix was my absolute favourite.
