Hello, I am experimenting with running a micro bookwyrm instance, to journal the books that I read.

I live in France near Paris, and work as an IT guy for IPCC. I read rather slowly, mostly in French, essays and novels, sometimes poetry or comics. I have this setup where I read french books and review them here in English.

I am moving from a taste in politics towards a growing interest in philosophy, science remains a constant. Also Maxzor on Mastodon.

quoted Albert Chambonnet (1903-1944) by Olivier Le Gouic

Olivier Le Gouic, Alain Ravoyard: Albert Chambonnet (1903-1944) (Hardcover, French language, 2024, Poutan)

Lyon, 27 juillet 1944, les Allemands extraient cinq résistants de la prison de Montluc. En …

Je me suis donc longtemps interrogé sur ce choix de mon grand-père de s'éloigner de sa vie de famille, de désobéir à son commandement militaire et de privilégier la loyauté de son engagement dans la Résistance. Avec la question vertigineuse suivante : à quel moment devient-il légitime de désobéir ?
