Probably because the audio CD was published on September 3rd 2019 ?

I'm trying to add The Civil War on Film
by Peg A Lamphier, Rosanne Welch but the list won't allow it even though the book was published in 2020.

If you don't get a response on this one soon, go to the librarian's thread and list it there. You need a super-librarian for this (meaning a GR employee, not just a humble volunteer like me.)

Umm, I am trying to add Kurangaituku by Whiti Hereaka, which was published in 2021, but it won't let me. It says it wasn't published in this time frame.

October of 2021 is well within the time frame, so you should be able, but these lists don't get much assistance unless we make noise. I recommend you go to the librarian's thread and report this, and be sure to include the ISBN number. Sadly, we volunteer librarians don't have the capability, so you need a GR employee to fix this.

Posterity is the greatest of filters, you know, the wheat from the chaff and whatnot.

Nobody’s forcing you to look at contemporary lists or to comment there.
It’s not the first list (neither the second) I found some kind of negative, even borderline inappropriate comments from you that have absolutely nothing to do with the list content nor it’s theme and by now I am extremely tempted to flag all future ones so GR employees can decide if we have to bear with those.

Me neither, but obviously — being a living author — I don't hope that people read NO books by living authors. That's the same as wishing for poverty.

ha. Yes, well i would hate to think that my aversion dooms anyone to a life of impecunity, all cheap laptops and cold garrets.
(i will pledge to buy a few modern books then, as a show of goodwill to the living).

I mean "On Reading the Old Books" was what convinced me, and it was a modern book.
Distrust is fair. But I still interact with everyone I distrust. I just judge them based on those whom I trust.

Not to even mention senselessly depriving ourselves of excellent books, and for what? To satisfy a troll?

Well yes, that too. It is hard to filter your own era without the clarity of classics for a lens. But gems we do have in our own era. The Road, for instance, I didn't just love, but needed the year my father passed.
