Working in a library maintaining the book collection, I handle a lot of books published in the last 90 years. This author blurb from a non-comic 1990s UK travel memoir is unlike any I have ever seen.

Wanted to let @theauthorguy.bsky.social know that me and Momo are enjoying Anima Rising, even if our library has decided that a 1911 Vienna setting counts as science fiction if there's a Frankenstein monster involved. Fwiw, the MWS Frankenstein is classed in regular fiction, not SF.

Double entendre title of the week. This book is from 2005 and appears to be from a UK or HK publisher but I really think someone should have told them.

A US senator proposed a wealth cap of $50 million. Some economists said it would either result in little help for the poor, or would hurt the economy further.
This was in *1934*. Can you imagine how much money 50 mill was then, and that there were people who had that much during the *Depression*?
