Hubski Literary Thing – The Global Bookshelf
Hubski Literary Thing – The Global Bookshelf  ·  1

Some of the #hubskiliterarything participants are receiving their books after a long wait.

In the link above is a Google map showing where the books ended up (or will end up - sorry for those still waiting).

Eventually people will read their books and send them on to other Hubskiers who have a thirst for literature. Then we will update the map. Perhaps, one day, it will be a network of books, lacework across the map, arcs linking each place each book touched down to be devoured by its recipient before it continued its flight like a migratory paper bird.

In the meantime...

Have you initial nine spokes received your books yet? Post a picture here, perhaps. And, perhaps those Hubskiers who want to be next in line can start to form a disorderly queue.

Hubski Literary Thing: The generation of a new taste.

markup tips  ·  0

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

No, damn it. I'll be checking the mail again as soon as I get home.

Candide is a quick read, though -- assuming it does in fact arrive at my mailbox, who wants it next? Stateside is best but not entirely necessary.
