pickI‘m so irresponsible giving this a pick. It‘s a mess. Directionless, rushed, sometimes incoherent. But it‘s a Faulknerian mess. It has its joys on flying, New Orleans (lightly fictionalized), Mardi Gras, drunkness, and lust…and its Macbeth themes/parallels. And its neologisms, words like yair, or smashed-together words like umbrellarib. If you can hack through, you might actually find it fun. I did.
The #birthdayfairies have a double reason for fun and celebration today…Birthday Twins!! 🎉🎉
@Laughterhp and @TaciturnWhenReading , we hope that you enjoy your day to the fullest and that it‘s filled with all that makes you happiest. #birthdaylove
Happy Birthday, Mikala and Andrea!!!

I think it‘s time to get back to Faulkner. I‘m about to start this one, from 1935
pickThis catchy title caught my eye in a used bookstore. At first I thought it might refer to the AIDS era, post-70s, but it‘s a memoir about F. Scott Fitzgerald and his sad decline after the heyday of the Jazz Age. Tony Buttitta, a bookshop owner and writer befriended Fitzgerald in the summer of 1935, and this is his recollection. It‘s well-written and I‘d recommend it for anyone interested in Fitzgerald or Asheville history.
A Modern Library Giant. A book I couldn‘t resist at Goodwill even though I have too many books! My bone to pick is in the subtitle , by the “men “ who made it. No women here , expected in the time frame. I‘m sure I will still like it 😁
