News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
This has been another good week for the territory. The top posts speak for themselves. Additionally, @BTCLNAT is posting in chapters the book La Vaca: a metaphor about how to overcome conformity and mediocrity. It has proven to be very popular. We also continue to get many book, movie, and television reviews.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

Years ago I read a lot of Bukowski’s prose. @Nadia posted one of his poems, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Bukowski isn’t for everyone, but he certainly was unique.
@hasherstacker gave us this post which probably deserved more attention. The topic is one I struggle with often, as I’m sure most of us do here.

This week's newsletter is quite diverse. One story, one poem, one tv series review and one sarcastic take on writers. Really, something for everyone kind of a week. Thanks @gpvansat, @plebpoet @DarthCoin, @jurraca @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears
Thanks @siggy47. It's a great compilation. I read the top articles but I've somehow missed the book review by @jurraca, it's also good. After @DarthCoin's post, I watched a few videos of The IT Crowd. They are absolutely super hilarious. It's only the second comedy show in English I'm watching after Two Broke Girls.
Yes, I'm enjoying the IT Crowd too. @jurraca's book review was a surprise. More good stuff to read.
Excellent newsletter, I really enjoyed the experience of my friend @gpvansat in his publication A trip with bitcoin through Africa.
Thank you for your high praise!
When they coordinate another contest, I would love to participate and learn many more stories.
@DarthCoin is the coolest superstar stacker of SN. Those who have misconception that Darth is not the coolest guy, these posts on some casual stuff is for them to change their views.
I appreciate the mention, it has been a pleasure for me to be able to share this post with the community. In a response I made to @DarthCoin I told him that it was precisely his publication on the book "The Basic Laws of Stupidity" that motivated me to do this. And I do consider him to be a great guy.
I congratulate @siggy47 for the creation of this territory and all the stackers who actively participate. Thanks to all.
oh man, you could skip all my movies / tv series recommendations. Are not meant to be included in this nice top. Are just normal recommendations, for fun.
The stackers decide the best posts. It's all based on zaprank. FYI, I started watching The IT Crowd. Very funny!
Where can I learn more about zaprank?

Superb poem that shared by @plebpoet and I like the story by @gpvansat very much.
