This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The Wiki's plot summary for "A Void", a book that (usually) omits a symbol vital to our vocabulary, also avoids that symbol (en.wikipedia.org)

I do not support just calling that wiki "wiki" without including a crucial part of it.

I see what you did there 😉

May I submit a formulation akin to "I got what you did thusly"?

You don't say? But you said it. Why, you don't find it - approaching mortality for saying it, as in A Void - intimidating? I admit though, not using it is limiting. A book writ without that symbol... Wow. But I must stop now, I can't think of any words without it.
