Book cover for “THE ART OF PRAGMATA,” with the title spanning the upper portion in large pale blue uppercase serif lettering and “THE ART OF” set in smaller spaced capitals above it; beneath is the Japanese subtitle “プラグマタ公式設定画集 -Lunar Echoes-.” Against a clean white background, the central artwork shows a highly detailed science-fiction scene with a young blonde girl on the left and a large armored humanoid figure on the right. The girl has very long light-blonde hair, pale green eyes, and a gentle smile, and she wears a futuristic blue, black, and gray suit with glowing cyan accents and oversized circular blue wrist equipment; she raises one hand in a thumbs-up gesture. Beside her, the much larger figure wears an elaborate white and gray mechanical helmet and heavy exosuit covered with angular armor panels, exposed joints, cables, vents, warning markings, and small yellow and red accents; its large gloved hand is also raised in a thumbs-up. The close composition emphasizes the contrast between the girl’s soft features and the intricate industrial machinery of the suit, while small Japanese publisher text appears near the lower-left corner.

You name it, he wrote it: poetry, plays, sermons, criticisms. "Dr. Johnson" was a celebrity in his time, and one of the reasons people know him today (besides work that included his massive Dictionary of the English Language) is the landmark biography by James Boswell. #booksky #writers #botd

Illustration of Dr. Johnson (accorded the "doctor" title through honorary degrees. He has long white hair and he's peering closely at a paper, as if reading something. The illustration is set inside an ornate frame. Adjacent to that image is the text "Literary Rock Star circa 1779. Samuel Johnson, born on this day in 1709."

Below, the cover for "Their Eyes Were Watching God," published #otd in 1937; and the author, the amazing Zora Neale Hurston. Hurston's work as a writer, anthropologist, documentarian and folklorist was undervalued until a biography and MS Mag article revived interest--and respect. #booksky #writers

On the right, the cover for the first edition of "Their Eyes Were Watching God" showing a woodcut type illustration of a rainy rural scene with storm winds blowing against a tree next to a stream. Adjacent to that is image is a photograph of author Zora Neale Hurston. She's smiling and wearing a hat with a brim angled sideways. She's also wearing earrings and a necklace. She seems to be standing on a street in front of a building.

From The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury’s 1949 sci-fi classic: #Booksky

Excerpt from The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury:
"Heartlessly. They passed a law. Oh, it started very small. In 1999 it was a grain of sand. They began by controlling books of cartoons and then detective books and of course, films, one way or another, one group or another, political bias, religious prejudice, union pressures; there was always a minority afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the dark, afraid of the future, afraid of the past, afraid of the present, afraid of themselves and shadows of themselves."
