DisCrumpled @bryancrumpley.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Looking for book recommendations: For February I am looking for great love stories that are not romance novels! For reference: I loved Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and I do consider that a love story. Whatcha people got? 110
DisCrumpled @bryancrumpley.bsky.social · 25/01/2025One of the more obnoxious things about being a teacher is how ineffective I am at indoctrinating my students. Like, I offer sex change surgeries daily, I only allow bell hooks to be read in class, and I have a giant poster of Karl Marx, and they still refuse to seize the means of production! 110
DisCrumpled @bryancrumpley.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I don’t often pretend to be better than others, but at least when I can’t afford a new book at an indie bookstore, I get it from my public library, and not from Amazon. Libraries fucking kick ass! (Especially those without late fees!) 000

DisCrumpled @bryancrumpley.bsky.social · 26/11/2024How bout a #bookrecap for 2024. What’s your favorite read of 2024? Rebecca was mine. A slow burn, a suspense builder, beautifully written and plotted. Can you think of any other book where a character can be so vividly felt without a single moment of life within the story? #readwithme #reading 000
