Thread on Dan Boultwood's victim who waives her anomity to talk about the experience. For those who didn't see the original reporting, this is the only significant coverage. Maddie says how she's disappointed there wasn't more public introspection and conversation over this, and she's right.

When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

A Curse Against Stealers Of Books
For him that
stealth a book from
this place, let it
change into a
serpent in his hand
and rend him.
Let him be struck with
palsy,
& all his members
blasted.
Let him languish in
pain crying aloud for
mercy, & let there be be no surcease to his
agony till he sink to
dissolution.
Let bookworms gnaw
his entrails in token of
the Worm that diets not,
& when at last he
goeth to his final
punishment, let the
flames of
hell consume him
forever & aye.
(Monastery Of San Pedro, Barcelona.)

Not for deliberate choice, but the books I read are rarely written in the first person. The Reacher ones are. Is this common for that genre? Do people who read more of a mix of books written in various persons notice any difference in how they feel? Is first person more immediate, urgent to you?

66666 miles on the odometer. She's an oldish car, but doesn't see a ton of driving (we borrow her from my parents, who use her rarely). The multitude of warning lights are just her way of saying hello after it's been raining, nothing to worry about just ignore them...

If the north Wales tourism board would like to hire me, I'm in love with the place. I'm a shit photographer, with an old iphone mini, in a moving car, and I got things like this:

The narrow road disappears into the horizon. A valley lurches off down to the left, green and lush. Hills bump across the horizon line, behind which there's a glimpse of sea. It's gorgeous.

A ship rests at the side of the road. Behind it, browns of grasses. Behind that, layers of mountains in fading shades of blue, like a AAA computer game trying to preserve memory while still looking stunning.

think what's interesting about this too is that I have no sense of how others feel about this - we're clearly in a minority on this website by being stridently anti-AI, but does that really mean other people don't.....meaningfully care about the phenomenon below?
