Tékumel? Not for me
Thank you BundleOFHolding for this Tékumel collection. Well, I read something about this Empire of the Petal Throne – Wikipedia and while everyone keep saying that it’s author is “a forgotten Tolkien” I don’t think so. He’s not a Tolkien. Tolkien had something that Barker chose to discard and it shows in the underlying fabric of his work, something easily spottable even in encyclopedia entries. So it is not my piece of cake. Let’s be clear: I do not share the underlying ethos.

Dead Coins?
I found a reference to this site, which looks promising: Dead Coins – A Complete List of ICO Exit Scams & Extinct Coins.
So well, they list DogeCoin two times, as deceased coin and also as a scam. That’s quite strange as other has already noticed:
How can you call a current top 50 coin deceased? Now I do not like it nor would buy it, but to say that is just plain wrong. Let’s try to be for real ok? If you do not know what you are talking about, then do not post such ignorant things.
DogeCoin was really conceived as a pun, but with a current market cap of 365M US$ one can hardly say it’s “deceased”. It’s the 30th cryptocoin by capitalization, according to cryptocompare.com.
It does not help your credibility…

Udilla
Molto bello questo “Udilla” di Nino Milani (Fabbri Editori).
Breve e snello l’ha proposto la professoressa di Italiano a mia figlia ed alla sua classe come una delle letture facoltative per l’estate della 1° media.
Non voglio rovinarvi la sorpresa della lettura, voglio solo dirvi che lo scrittore mi ha sorpreso e sorpreso positivamente. Scorre veloce e finisce meglio di quanto uno potrebbe aspettarsi. Ed io che a metà libro, mentre lo stava leggendo mia moglie mi lamentavo del fatto che a furia di proporre principesse coraggiose gli scrittori hanno “estinto” la categoria dei principi azzurri!
La forza è vera, la forza è bella quando non viene usata per farne sfoggio o peggio per il male, ma quando è impiegata come extrema ratio.
Consigliato per tutti dalle medie in poi!
