@sandihall What a fascinating list! Seeing "A Pattern Language alongside 'Lord of the Rings' makes total sense both are so much about the deep structure of the worlds we live in.I haven’t picked up any Dorothy Dunnett yet, but after seeing it here, I might have to change that. Thanks for the inspiration! #7Books #Bookstodon

When I joined Mastodon two years ago, the #7Books #7BooksToKnowMe hashtags were a thing, and I had fun compiling my list. How do I choose only SEVEN?!? At the time I declared that my list was by no means permanent. With that said, I feel an update is past due, especially since one of the authors from my original list turned out to be... problematic. I'm posting the original list, as well as the current version (images to save characters, with #AltText of course).

Dieser Buchcover-Quatsch, der da von außen reingeschwappt kam, scheint mir recht ungelenk. Für Mastodonten gibt es immerhin meistens ALT-Beschriftungen, aber die enthalten nicht etwa Bildbeschreibungen, sondern nur Autor:in und Titel. Wenn euch die Umschlaggestaltung sowieso schnuppe ist, warum belastet ihr die Infrastruktur dann mit ihren zahlreichen Pixeln? Die letzte Aktion dieser Art - "#7books to get to know me" mit allen Angaben in einem einzigen Toot, anno domini 2022 - war nicht nur ergiebiger und erkenntnisreicher, sondern auch ressourcenschonender. #20books #20books20days #nobluesky

@cherrin Welcome to Mastodon fellow #BookLover! 😍 📚

One of the hashtags I joined in with back in Nov 2022 was a #Books introduction. Some of us posted a list of
#7Books to know me (including the # tag).

We pinned them to our profiles as a quick reference. I have many more favourites but I still re-read all these books.

How about a picture of #7books for #7BooksToKnowMe ?

Your Future Ex Aug 9, 2023

Saw the tag #7BooksToKnowMe and #7Books and couldn't resist - and me being me it won't be just 7 books but 7 series:

- The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons
- Culture series, especially Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks
- Sprawl trilogy by William Gibson
- The Elric Saga by Michael Moorcock
- The Sandman by Neil Gaiman (yes, it's a comic, but still counts)
- Discworld series by Terry Pratchett
- Dune series by Frank Herbert (yours truly is a completionist, so including all the KJA & BH stuff).
