More Weird and Wonderful Words | Erin McKean, Danny Shanahan

It‘s #WeirdWordWednesday I‘m sharing the cover of the final book in a trilogy today. I‘ve previously shared the covers of the first two books, because the titles are all #WeirdWords, which I hope you all have enjoyed.

CBee

CBee I‘m very much enjoying your word choices! 😊 1w

CatLass007 @CBee If I hadn‘t just happened upon this trilogy searching for something else, I doubt I‘d have anything to post. But I just love the way the covers are designed and the marvelous words that the author chose as his book titles. 1w

#WeirdWordsWednesday This picture is the cover of a book I haven‘t read. It‘s actually the second book in a trilogy that I haven‘t read. But I really like the covers and the books sound interesting.

AsYouWish @Sace Of course!!!! Welcome to #WickedWords 1mo

Sace Thanks! I‘ll probably lurk for a bit but I love this idea and don‘t want to miss new posts. 1mo

AsYouWish @Sace No problem! The words don‘t actually have to be words, they can also be images on cover or in the book. Be as creative as you want in finding the words (the “rules” are very flexible). Have fun and if you have any questions, please let me know!! 💙💙💙💙 1mo

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was Grease 2, you were correct!

Have you ever read a book where the songs from the movie are turned into dialogue? The book follows the movie pretty closely, but there are moments added & some parts have been changed completely. I loved this book, it is on the top of my list for rereads. Plus Grease 2 is way better than Grease (yes, I said it and I stand by it!!)

I don‘t have the book yet but I thought it would be fun to share the cover for #WeirdWordsWednesday.

CBee

CBee Oooo, this is a word I‘ve never heard of and didn‘t know existed - thank you 😊👍🏻 (edited) 1mo

CatLass007 @CBee You‘re welcome. It‘s the first book in a trilogy and if I get a chance to listen to this one and I like it, I‘ll make sure to tag you on those when I listen to them. 1mo

CBee @CatLass007 that would be great! Thank you! 1mo

Bookwomble The first time I came across this word was in a short story which had a vicious dog coming for the MC, and it described their fear of the approaching animal's "mordacious proprinquity", and it's a phrase I've never forgotten and, though rarely, have used! 1mo

CatLass007 @Bookwomble Mordacious AND propinquity in the same sentence?! Excellent!😂 1mo

Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy | Simon Blackburn

Probably of limited interest to non-French people, but the baccalaureate philosophy exam started at 8 this morning, and the essay questions are now out:

Vocational stream
Is Nature hostile to Man
Is the artist master of their own work

Academic stream
Can science satisfy our need for truth
Does the State owe us anything

Inspired or not?

Thinking of all those teenagers sweating on their exam papers in many different parts of the world...

Kitta As a scientist, I‘m definitely interested in these questions! I feel that science can give us the answers and can tell us the truth, but that maybe we won‘t reach them in our lifetimes and we‘ll have to wait for the next generation to understand. It‘s a frustrating reality that progress can be slow. 1mo

IuliaC These are very relevant questions 1mo

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards "Is the artist master of their own work?" is taking all sorts of new nuance with AI! 1mo

Dilara @Kitta Slow and every new discovery or insight brings about new questions! It's neverending... 1mo

Dilara @IuliaC Definitely! 1mo

Dilara @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Oh, I hadn't thought of that 😁 1mo

Dilara For whoever is interested, Le Monde newspaper published essay examples for some of these questions: https://www.lemonde.fr/campus/live/2024/06/18/en-direct-bac-philo-2024-un-enseig... 1mo
