If I had the time, I would love to write and produce a very personal #podcast about #TheGreatestBooks.
I've been on a mission, for a few years now, to read the top twenty or so most important, most influential works of world #literature. Fiction top ten, plus non-fiction top ten. Because [the meta-ranking I use as a reference](https://thegreatestbooks.org/) updates regularly with new rankings published and with slight improvements to the algorithm, in going through the list I'm actually getting closer to reading the top forty books.
Each (short) episode would focus on one book: I would share [my review](https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/64930929-tripu?order=d&shelf=read&sort=review&view=covers), read some passages I highlighted, and my explain why the book is (or isn't) that important and how it affected me personally.
Thoughts?
@aperalesf Muchas gracias por compartir tus averiguaciones. Yo tengo pendiente des-googlizar mi móvil y una tableta vieja.
Sex, sports, food:
if you spend more time watching it, reading about it, or commenting it — than doing and enjoying it yourself — look inwards and seek help.

Columbus didn't think the earth was round, he thought it was pear shaped like a titty with a nipple and all...
> I found it (the world) was not round . . . but pear shaped, round where it has a nipple, for there it is taller, or as if one had a round ball and, on one side, it should be like a woman’s breast, and this nipple part is the highest and closest to Heaven.

Bear in mind by this point the dude had been at sea for sometime, so I'd imagine he was seeing tity shaped things everywhere he looked.
Do you want to hear me rant about

Someone is probably paying this organisation money for a service, probably via a cloud based, well designed, slick, Blockchain and AI secured website which boasts Military Grade encryption to ensure your details are safe as your business is important to them, via these cables...

_“#Libertarianism is being attacked because it does not support just reforming a few #government policies. Instead, it presents a formidable intellectual challenge to the entire welfare-warfare #state. The ultimate goal of those pushing for a crackdown on ‘domestic terrorism’ is to make people unwilling to even consider ‘radical’ ideas — to make people so afraid of certain ideas that they refuse to even give those ideas a fair hearing. Progressives who are tempted to support what is being promoted as a crackdown on right-wing violence should consider the history of government harassment of progressive movements and leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr. What do they think a future right-wing authoritarian would do if given power to go after ‘ideological extremists’?”_

I abandoned Twitter about 2 months ago, and I'm happier as a result. The polarization of politics is a cancer and it was getting to me.
I will give Mastodon another try, mostly to follow people I know personally or people who post about topics I'm interested on..
