Hey, there's been a bunch of new users so I figured it might be a good idea to make this thread. Feel free to post your introductions, as well as any links to socials (only if you want to!) such as storygraph, goodreads, or bookwrym etc. I am hopeful to set up a bookwrym instance eventually but its still very much in early early early development.

Also be aware that there are alternative UI front ends, as seen from here. https://literature.cafe/post/315847

I know nothing about nobel prize people, as I primarily stick to picture books. Nor do I follow European politics, as I'm a freedom loving American.

Who is David Wallace, and what fascist government did he support?

Sorry, my comment wasn’t clear, so I edited a couple of new lines in.

David Foster Wallace was an American writer that didn’t support any fascist government that I know of. His writing is apolitical, as far as I know.

D’Annunzio was an Italian writer and poet that explicitly supported Mussolini’s fascist government. D’Annunzio lead some really bold (and somewhat stupid) military undertaking during WWII.
