Ok, you guys win. I'll post a question on Lit about a sci fi work on which I and others already have posts on Sci Fi.

Q: Is Mike an anarchist in *The Moon is a Harsh Mistress*?

b_jonasIn the later parts of Robert Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, we find out that Manny and Prof are motivated by their anarchist political beliefs. They argue for these beliefs in the new parliment, and I think those beliefs took a big part of what motivated their active participation in t...

 
Since both those tags are new, please pay attention to them, especially to decide early how they should be named.

@ChristopheStrobbe To be fair, I think that tag and its wiki were created before you even joined this site :-)
@b_jonas The Bastard of Istanbul wasn't self-translated. Says so on the Wikipedia page, which I mentioned in my recent question about the title.
But I'd wager the author, as a native Turkish speaker, had a lot of input into the translation.
Btw, I've started reading Forty Rules of Love. Seems very interesting.
And the question posted about it last year is a very good question and one that I've already started wondering too!
 
You really here, @Rand al'iterateur? I miss you. I have a room and a hallway of books i need to box up.
 
@humn !
I was here, but I need to go again :-(
 
Ships by the night! Bye.
 
Sorry to have missed you this time.
I'll pop into your room if time allows.
 
Glad you're sorry. We'll pass again @Rand. Back to the shadows.

But don't hold your breath. Time is at a premium these days, and the sellers are unscrupulous.

@Mithrandir Ok. I transferred the tag synopsys.
(Not that it matters here, because this one is a rather unique and easily searchable title, but still.)
The tag synopsis is heavily based on the one on Sci Fi by the way, I just stole it.
Oh, more importantly. I looked up those two Elif Şafak books in library catalog. They weren't immediately accessible, although I could probably get them later from one of the other FSzEK sites. However, the catalog says they're on the shelf for romantic books, which heavily dissuades me from checking them out. That's one of the categories I almost never want to read.

Q: Lines from Desiderata

AbcdWhat does the poet max Ehrmann, intend to convey using these lines in Desiderata: Especially do not feign affection Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. I guess the first line means that do not p...
