June reading wrap-up

[aish @wavesinprose]

i don’t think so, sure it would seep further into marketing and social media but when it comes to art, books and movies, people would not accept stagnant style and same tone.. humans crave art

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Unfortunately, I think that in the near future, not using LLMs to write for you will be like someone refusing to use Google Maps for directions in a new city. A bizarre idiosyncratic choice that's just completely incomprehensible to the vast majority of people.

[aish @wavesinprose]

@krlezijana Hi, i also like reading more genres

[aish @wavesinprose]

it could be good but the charm of every ghibli movie is that the animation seems like it could be life, it could be a different world

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

A live-action series adaptation of ‘KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE’ is in the works.

What are you currently reading?

[aish @wavesinprose]

Books that feature a horse on cover

[aish @wavesinprose]

haven't read the complete book but simpler prose doesn't mean slop.. words mean something and calling everything slop is lazy

[🌲Based Dostojevski🌲 @BasedDostoevski]

We should stop pretending page length is an indicator of how difficult it is to get through a book. Monte Cristo is like 900 pages but is basically litslop so you get through it easily. A soap opera telenovella isn't complex just because it has 500 episoded either

[aish @wavesinprose]

may reading wrap-up

weakest christie book I have read but i did complete it while recovering from a surgery ✌️
hopefully june contains more reading

[aish @wavesinprose]

both of these are very very short books so anyone can read these, the yellow wallpaper and recitatif

What is your must read book? The book you want everyone to read for sure and if they haven't read it you highly recommend they do

[Variety @Variety]

#Cannes jury president Park Chan-wook says "I don’t think politics and art should be divided."

" I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable."
