    A couple of thoughts. At one point you say "If I were an author, I would rather not have this [quality of book] sent out." Right up top, authors pretty much NEVER get a say in how their book is presented. Most authors are not even involved in the process of making their book covers, let alone picking what color and weight of paper and what form of binding is used. Not even Mr. Brando Sando, but kind of especially Mr. Brando Sando because he is published by one of the Big Five publishers which is as mainstream traditional publishing as you can get. As you go down to more indie publishing up to self-publishing you can get more control over the presentation of your project, but then you also have less money to spend on it than a Big Five multinational billion dollar publisher. Another thought. Its all about minmaxing profit. If you sell the shittily constructed book, you will save money in the overhead of the production of the book, and when the shittily constructed book doesn't last but a handful of readings, it will be trashed and purchased again and then you just got TWO book sales. This has started to become a real problem for libraries, because if a shittily constructed book happens to be a POPULAR book, we have to keep buying new copies when ours get beyond repairing. There's only so many times you can glue pages back in, or deal with the plastic laminate of the cover detaching from the paper and peeling off, or the PVA glue holding the page block in getting crunchy and then just all of the pages fall out. I think these problems are exacerbated in Mr. Brando Sando's case because his books are so damn big that the shitty construction literally can not hold up to the weight of the book itself. If anyone reading is a bookish sort, go research binding methods of books. In particular look up the difference between case binding (book pages used to be literally sewn to the spine) and perfect binding (slap some glue in there, its fine)

    Re: Master and Margarita The point is that the writer hated the erasure of religion in the Soviet Union bc he was deeply religious (and classist, but that is another story). I actually very much like the plot of the book itself, but the philosophy behind it is rather mediocre.

    I don't know the answer to your Of Mice and Men question, but in East of Eden Steinbeck immediately sets out on this viciously racist description of "Digger" Indians, who I think the narration says are "lazier than sin", but I had the same question you had about the gender themes of OMAM. Was this a deep think kind of passage, or was that just what he thought?

    I would recommend "Frankenstein", the characters can vary from likable to detestable and you can fall for the monster and wallow in it's lonely misery. I sometimes think with ai we may create a sentient life and birth it into a miserable existence on this earth. Would we, it's creators, turn from it and make it feel ugly and abandoned, an ai monster? Another classic that is actually quite scary is "The Picture of Dorian Gray". The short section about Cybil Vane seems incredibly moving to me, it has me in tears every time I read it.

    About 15 years ago, I bought a copy of Reamde by Neal Stephenson at a brick and mortar store. Got about 250 pages into it. At that point, the book jumped back like 40 pages and just repeated those 40 pages. Very strange printing error.

    11:56 The Vikings had a legend about a sunstone. It let you navigate ships by the position of the sun, even if you couldn't see the sun, due to thick clouds. Nobody was looking for a rock with those properties until a geologist, who didn't know any Viking legends, examined and documented the optical properties of various translucent rocks, and someone else put the two ideas together. I don't think people are going to be looking for scientific knowledge in legends. Nobody is testing Ancient Egyptian medicines. They are looking to see which bits of Ancient Egyptian medicine coincide with modern knowledge, but no one is testing those recipes or procedures that seem to be random. Maybe if we lost all knowledge, we would be more keen to test out the technical details of the legends. But what kind of society ever thinks to itself: "We have lost all knowledge" ? We would never get to that state.

    The Indian editions of US textbooks are of very poor quality. US editions use 2-3 colors in the text but they are printed as black and white in Indian editions without any color corrections. For example in US editions, blue is used to highlight some word, but when that is printed in b/w the word becomes lighter. Sometimes a book's author would say, look at these two graphs in <color1> and <color2>, but in b/w edition they look identical. By the way, there's no way to obtain a hardbound colored edition even if you're willing to pay. The only option that remains is to import from US, but that will drive the cost to 10x-15x higher (maybe even more) with import taxes and delivery cost.
