Is it bad manners to send book proposal to more than one publisher at once?

I'm not much liking the 21st century, so I'm escaping to the 19th century and reading Middlemarch

I have proofed 4 pages. Stopping now before I start to make things worse.

For me it's not so much about LLMs than about career stage. If I can't write the way I want now that I have at least some job security, when can I?

Thinking about LLM companions/friends and Nozick's experience machine. Seems like lots of people do choose the experience machine. #philsky

What are people's views on revealing that one reviewed a paper post publication? Bad etiquette? Fine?

I sometimes want to approach authors whose papers I really liked, but not sure it's the done thing. #academicsky

I did this with ours last summer. Some really impressive open days. Unfortunately, no scope for direct comparison as he's applied for engineering.

I sort of feel there's going to be so many ways people misunderstand papers that I'd only write response if you feel a burning need to set the record straight.

I've read Wuthering Heights twice over the years but still don't really know whether I like it. I think fundamentally I'm a bit too prosaic and unromantic for the strong passions portrayed. And it's one of those books with a severe shortage of likeable characters. But might give it another go.

But it's very hard to get out of the writing habit once you get into it.
