Read #AgathaChristie with me! I'm leading an online book group for The Center for Fiction. We're going to talk about evil, justice, and the crime that Christie considered the worst of all on Zoom - 3/10, 3/31, 4/21, and 5/12 at 6:30 pm.

A photo of Marguerite Perey, seated and looking directly at the camera. Her right hand rests on her lap and her left hand is in her pocket. She is wearing a long white lab coat that is tied at the waist.
Physicist Marguerite Perey discovered Francium #OTD in 1939. It was the last element to be found in a naturally occurring state, rather than synthesized by humans. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩🔬

Heller was right.
Suggestion: stop calling it “generative AI”.
Call it “regurgitative AI” instead.
Much more descriptive.
I’m a gun owner, and I respect the rights of responsible gun owners. That said, the second amendment will continue to be watered with the blood of children until the laws change.

The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

@whimsicalmuse.bsky.social is channeling my precise thoughts at this precise moment in time. Here's hoping that sometime this weekend you will find us both well with our cozy tea, scones, and Christie novels.
BookRiot knows who I am!
Well, they know about my book.
THE PHYSICISTS' DAUGHTER is featured this week on this week's edition of Past Tense, BookRiot's newsletter for #historicalnovels. Thank you, @isabellepopp.bsky.social!
I was a child in the Seventies. This makes me wonder what was going on with our parents.
I'd love to be on the list, if you still have space.
Thanks, Wendall!
Good point!
1b) A book based on my doctoral work--Agatha Christie, Witness to the Evolution: Women, Justice, and the 20th Century--is in the proposal stage

2) Someday, a book on crime fiction as the literature of justice.
For fans of Agatha...
