Keith Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Just started reading "A Study In Scarlet" in its original form for the first time!! 🙀 1 Quote
Nix Posted September 4 Posted September 4 Well I guess I'll screenshot my list again 😅 So a mix of fiction, non-fiction and comics. Special shout out to 'The West Passage' by Jared Pechaček. A perfect blend of fantasy and eldritch horror. Also, I bought this book in hardcover just so I could enjoy the woodcut illustrations made by the writer (he has a Tumblr!) And right now I'm reading 'Bitch: On the Female of the Species' by Lucy Cooke. It is a blend of really serious biology interspersed with great humor so I'm loving it so far. 1 Quote
roboticanary Posted September 12 Posted September 12 currently reading Dhalgren by Samuel Delaney getting back into a bit more science fiction sort of things and really liking Delaney's stuff, finished Empire Star a few weeks ago and he packs a lot of interesting ideas into one quite short book. 2 Quote

Currently reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I adore the Cruel Prince series. Favorite genres are fantasy, mystery, and believe it or not, … romance every once in a while. 🤭 1 Quote

DeltaAro Posted September 21 Posted September 21 Philosophy of Painting by Jason Gaiger. Importantly, this is not philosophy of art, or aesthetics, which are both very broad topics. Just philosophy of painting. And painting, in the classical understanding of the Renaissance, was about creating a window to the world, how the world reveals itself to sight. That's also why real gold (which was common in medieval paintings) fell out of use at that time: the ideal was to imitate the effect of gold as seen from a certain perspective, not simply use gold (which may not fit in because it reacts to real-world-light instead of light-in-painting). Obviously, the modern understanding of painting transcends this, but I've only read 25% of the book. Another reason why I started this book is to say more intelligent things about AI image generators. 1 Quote
