Noticed this title in @joel@fosstodon.org's recent review of Dune and realized I was sitting a 30-second walk from it in the library, so I checked it out.

Overall, this was an amazing resource and I got a lot of benefit out of reading it. I recommend it to anyone, it's a good way to get a good idea of the thought processes that go into moderation.
I plan to use selected chapters of it as required reading for moderators on polymaths.social.

Benjamin Hollon started reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
I have to say, this book really shines on the reread. ...not something most people will ever know, I guess.
But so much of the detail that seems like extra fluff on the first read turns out to be foreshadowing; the complexity of the plot is staggering once you know what's going on.
Still deciding what to think about Heinlein
3 stars
Definitely an interesting book. Not completely sure what I think. That seems to be par for the course for Heinlein in my experience.

(The Player is the best character)
5 stars
I got to read this out loud with my AP Lit class (then watch the movie) and it was absolutely brilliant.
As a thespian, I feel privileged to have read the Player's part.
