I'd like to say that I don't have a type but I do and it’s guys with long hair and an earring who never shut the fuck up.

I didn't want him morally grey. I wanted someone with a soul as black as night. Someone who would burn the world down for me and not lose a single minute of sleep over it.

The Best Romance Novels of 2024! This is our favorite episode of the year, where we get to shout at you about the terrific books we read this year, and tell you all the ways romance continues to excite us.

It's the best and worst job, because we get to shout about books we love, but we are limited to only ten! And choosing ten favorites is very difficult! That said, we persevered, and here they are: Ten books we loved, books that delivered all the things we love in romance: bold heroines, big heroes, banter, complexity, conflict, impossible situations, and stories that swing for the fences. You're going to love these books.

2024 books - funny story by emily henry

I'd wanted so badly to escape myself, my life, that I forgot about all the beautiful little pieces of it I've been acquiring like sea glass these last few months. Things that no one can take from me.

Flatland: An Adventure in Many Dimensions, a 2024 translation into casual English, is done!

You can read and download it completely 100% for free on the Internet Archive!

When it's done loading, you will be able to read it directly online, and the Internet Archive will automatically generate audiobook versions with text to speech.

You can also download and torrent various versions as PDFs, epubs, and editable documents so you can change the font, paragraph styles, and do anything else you want with it, like give everyone neopronouns or turn them into unicorns!

I will also be making my own audiobook version at some point. but that's gonna take a while since this is around 38,000 words long. You can make your own too! And you can translate this into other languages!

Edit: The "lazy" (unedited) audiobook is now available on youtube! It is in two videos, since my computer wouldn't let me combine them lol.

“https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpFcEwm88RUsMYmhY6DBYZcIvvKv6_ZS3”

Did I mention this is public domain? Because I hate capitalism and I'm poor and I want other people to also be able to enjoy books for free.

Buy the cheapest possible print version for $7.45 (I get $2).

This version is a paperback with no illustrations, no prefaces, a greyscale cover to make it as cheap to print as possible, so that more people can afford to buy it.

Buy the regular print version for $22.17 (I get $5).

This version is a hardpack with illustrations, the preface from the original author, and one from me.

You can also download all the HD illustrations included in this story here on the Internet Archive.

If you enjoy reading it, you can also donate directly to "TinyelFlatland" on paypal!

And if I haven't made it clear yet, this is Public Domain. You are 1million% encouraged to download it, print it, share it, do literally anything you want with it. I am 100% serious.

Now you can all join me in laughing at the narrator :)

Edit: oh wait lol. I realize I wrote this post assuming only people who already know what Flatland is will see it.

Uh so people who have no clue what Flatland is, here's a quick summary:

The narrator, who hides his identity using the alias "A. Square", is a resident of a world called Flatland, a world that only exists in two dimensions, where every person is a flat geometric shape. A. Square tells us the history and culture of his world, which is rife with bigotry that he buys into without question. Until New Year's Eve, before the first day of the year 2000, when a mysterious stranger claiming to come from the third dimension appears in his living room, and starts saying things that sound absurd, and performing what seem like magic tricks.

The original Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, was published in 1884 by Edwin Abbot Abbot. It is both a scathing political satire criticizing the systems of bigotry in Victorian England, and an entertaining introduction to the concept of more than three dimensions.

Edit: Now there's an itch.io page too!

Edit again: And you can read it here on tumblr now! @flatland-a-2024-translation and on Pillowfort!

A Madison, tra le aule affollate e i vivaci corridoi della University of Wisconsin, Vlad e Maddie condividono una passione inarrestabile per il paranormale e la scienza. Sotto le stelle, tra racconti di spiriti e leggende metropolitane, il loro amore giovanile sboccia con la forza di un'apparizione notturna.

Ma le cose prendono una piega inaspettata quando un "incidente" orchestrato dal loro comune amico Jack li separa, lasciando Vlad intrappolato in un limbo tra la vita e la morte, trasformato in un'entità non-umana. Vent'anni dopo, il destino li riporta insieme, in un incontro carico di tensione e nostalgia. Maddie, ora una cacciatrice di fantasmi, è decisa a scoprire i segreti che abitano nel suo passato. Vlad, d'altro canto, si nasconde dietro una maschera di apparente normalità, temendo di svelare la verità sulla sua natura non-umana.

Man mano che si rincorrono tra la nebbia e le ombre del loro passato, Vlad e Maddie dovranno affrontare le paure e i demoni che tormentano entrambi. Riusciranno a ritrovare il loro amore, sfidando le leggi del paranormale e le cicatrici del tempo? "Fantasma d'Amore" è una storia di passione, segreti e redenzione, dove ogni spirito ha una storia da raccontare.

Chiudete gli occhi e immergetevi in un mondo dove l'amore supera ogni barriera, persino la morte stessa.

[Un capitolo al giorno, tutti i giorni, finché la storia non sarà finita! Questo è il nostro primo esperimento nella scrittura di un romanzo rosa "leggero"... e ovviamente è paranormale!]
