My new book Colditz: Prisoners of the Castle is out today! The inside story of Colditz is a tale of the indomitable human spirit, and much else besides: bullying, espionage, boredom, insanity, tragedy and farce. Available now from wherever you buy your books.

This is a great book. (Good post on it, too). It is great alongside this year’s THE INTERNET IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS by Justin EH Smith and Wendell Berry’s classic essay, “Why I Will Not Buy a Computer.”

One of the best ways you can help indie bookshops is to just spread the word. Word of mouth is everything. So when you re-tweet, tag, etc. your favorite shops on this Indie bookstore Day it is a huge help to all of us.

It's Independent Bookstore Day, which is the day when we all celebrate the notion that books should be more than loss leaders. What a concept.

Can you imagine your ideas lasting (and remaining meaningful for) 1900 years?
How few minds born millennia ago, in a world so different and in many ways much harder than ours, continue to illuminate humanity over the epochs. On Marcus Aurelius's 1901st birthday, his ever-illuminating wisdom on how to live with our lives: themarginalian.org/tag/marcu…

Today is poet Ted Kooser's birthday and since he's a poet who should be better known, here is a thread with a few of his poems. (All of these were sourced from Poetry Foundation.)
