Do you read one book at a time, or several at once? We've been thinking about how reading habits are almost as personal as the books themselves.

Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women while managing her family's finances and her own exhaustion. The book doesn't show any of that. Something worth sitting with this month.

George Eliot's Adam Bede doesn't get talked about as much as Middlemarch. It probably should. A quieter book but one that stays.

Machiavelli's The Prince is still startling for how direct it is. No pretense about what power requires. Political theory doesn't usually age this cleanly.

Friday. What did you read this week that stayed with you past the last page?

Sun Tzu's Art of War is in our Politics shelf. It's also one of the most misquoted books in business. The actual text is shorter, stranger, and more interesting than most summaries suggest.

Spring is a good season for George Eliot. Middlemarch, Silas Marner, Daniel Deronda — her books are unhurried in the way that matches a slow afternoon. All on Knovel.

A reader on Knovel this week built a list inspired by Gulliver's Travels. Political satire through fantasy geography. Sometimes the best reading lists have a thesis behind them. What's yours?

David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, The Mystery of Edwin Drood — Dickens published prolifically and still managed to make every character feel specific. The 19th century shelf is worth a slow walk.

Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil questions every inherited assumption about morality. Not comfortable reading. Not meant to be. On the Philosophy shelf, alongside The Communist Manifesto and The Interpretation of Dreams. Good company for skeptics.

Midweek question: what's a book that surprised you? Not with its plot, but with its perspective?

This month we keep returning to how many foundational texts were written by women who had to fight for the right to be taken seriously. Little Women. Middlemarch. Persuasion. The catalog is long.

Writers: what's the hardest part of writing in public? Not the craft, the act of putting it somewhere people might find it.

370 billion book-related social interactions happen online every year. Most of them happen away from where the books actually live. We're trying to put them in the same room.

W.E.B. Du Bois published The Souls of Black Folk in 1903. The concept of double consciousness — holding two identities at once — is still one of the most precise ideas in American letters. It's on Knovel.

We ran a demo session last week with a group of independent authors. One thing they all said: they're tired of building audiences on platforms that can vanish them overnight. We heard that.

What's a book that changed how you think about power? Politics, corporate, interpersonal — any kind. We're genuinely asking.
