I like to start my chapters with a quote, I know it's not uncommon, but I was wondering what people think about it as a reader? 🤔

All in favour of changing Library to Book hoard, and Librarian to Book Dragon? 😁
P.S Book Dragon is obviously the best kind of dragon 😊

Finished #reading "Myriad of Tongues" by Everett: Linguistics offers a fascinating window into human society, and Everett gives us a terrific tour of the relationship between language and how we experience the world. My favorite chapter was the one on time -- thinking about time spatially is not universal, and even people who do think of it spatially don't always think of it the way that I am used to.
Fuller review: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1679788/s/a-myriad-of-tongues
We tend to assume that all languages categorize ideas and objects similarly, reflecting our common human experience. But this isn’t the case. When we look closely, we find that many basic concepts are not universal, and that speakers of different languages literally see and think about the world differently. Caleb Everett takes readers around the globe, explaining what linguistic diversity tells us about human culture, overturning conventional wisdom along the way. For instance, though it may seem that everybody refers to time in spatial terms—in English, for example, we speak of time “passing us by”—speakers of the Amazonian language Tupi Kawahib never do. In fact, Tupi Kawahib has no word for “time” at all. And while it has long been understood that languages categorize colors based on those that speakers regularly encounter, evidence suggests that the color words we have at our disposal affect how we discriminate colors themselves: a rose may not appear as rosy by any other name. What’s more, the terms available to us even determine the range of smells we can identify. European languages tend to have just a few abstract odor words, like “floral” or “stinky,” whereas Indigenous languages often have well over a dozen. Why do some cultures talk anthropocentrically about things being to one’s “left” or “right,” while others use geocentric words like “east” and “west”? What is the connection between what we eat and the sounds we make? A Myriad of Tongues answers these and other questions, yielding profound insights into the fundamentals of human communication and experience.
I know some people say they don't read speculative fiction because it's "not realistic" well guess what 😜😂

Is the essence of all litterature what someone would die for, or is it just to die, that is the question 😜😂

#PhantastikPrompts 22. März
Stell uns bitte das letzte Phantastikbuch vor, das du gelesen hast.
#Bookwyrm sagt, das war „Die goldene Kanone“ von An Brenach:
https://bookwyrm.social/book/2110396/s/die-goldene-kanone-kein-detektivroman
Bei @Literatopia gab es auch ein Interview dazu:
Ein Anwesen, ein geheimnisumwitterter Gönner und ein Wettstreit zwischen Koryphäen der Kriminalliteratur um einen Preis – was kann da schon schiefgehen? Wenn Schreibende, die sich eigentlich verabscheuen, in völliger Finsternis in einem Keller feststecken, vermischen sich Wortgefechte, Animositäten und unglaubliche Tascheninhalte zu einem düsteren Gemälde in Steampink. „Dieses Buch verkennt völlig die Großartigkeit meines Schaffens. 3 Sterne für die Mühe.“ - Bartholomew Magoove „An Brenach hat ein Werk geschaffen, dessen Ideen mir eine einzelne Träne entlockt haben. Brillant!“ - Christine Agmate „Ich hatte Angst bei den Erlebnissen, ich fürchte mich noch mehr beim Lesen der Nacherzählung.“ - Mick van Luch
