Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de for now everything I post here is automatically "re-tooted" there.

I bought this for my dad for Christmas a few years ago because I saw it at the bookstore and I know he likes cowboys. He got into it so much it read practically the whole series from the public library, until he eventually decided it was trashy romance novels in chaps. Now I want to see what all the fuss was about.
Immigration is one of the most pressing issues on the national agenda. In this accessible …
I'm hoping to get a new perspective on why loving our neighbor and open borders are intertwined. In particular I'm hoping for new apologia to convince my fellow Christians of the need for open borders and there having been drawn into closed border xenophobia by fear and the devil.

Unfortunatley the Mrs. and I have fell off of this.
I have had a hard time explaining to my friend and neighbors how libertarian socialism goes from an idea to reality. How products are made and market demands met. I'm hoping Chomsky will help me with that.
@Leaving_Marx@wyrmsign.org how can you say it's the best book you read in 2024 when we aren't even half way through the year yet?

Common Prayer Pocket Edition helps individuals and today's diverse church pray together across traditions and …
Claiborne's common prayer is primarily pointed at introducing the liturgy to evangelicals. Evangelicals traditionally have been weary of anything traditional, religious, or repeadative, but with today's western "church" leaving more questions than answers geared towards making seekers feel welcome rather than challenging believers, many young endangering are looking to the past to improve their future. Common Prayer is based, in part, on the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, but it's been "updated" to remove the barrier of the three year cycle to a more digestable one year. It ads to the daily liturgy some modern readings about MLK, Ghandi, Sojourner Truth, and others that can inspire Christians of today. Its designed to be used in communion with other belivers, such as in the radical monestosem that Shane is known for.
Most of the contents is absolutely available free of charge on their website commonprayer.net but it's so much better to …

Most of the contents is absolutely available free of charge on their website commonprayer.net but it's so much better to have a dead tree in your hand.
The only down side to the pocket edition is it's small size, unlike traditional daily liturgies you'll need some additional books at hand such as a bible and a hymnal. This ends up mashing commonprayer.net almost necessary anyway, and for me the internet is a place far too distracting to help direct prayer with the all mighty.
