There's no stopping the climate apocalypse now, let alone reversing it.
But hey, maybe bird flu will take half of us first.
“I'm equally sure, however, that I won't walk into a lamp-post while reading {literature}, like I did with {a legal thriller} all those years ago; you don't walk into lamp-posts when you're reading literary novels, do you?“

Sometimes when things feel sideways, it helps to focus on trying to make someone else smile. Worked on my #Litsylove Valentines cards for a Children‘s Hospital today. Thanks to @TieDyeDude for finding this one of four organizations for us. My cards look like the work of a toddler and I‘m totally fine with that 😂

McSweeney‘s #71: Horror Stories is GORGEOUS and triple slipcased. It‘s just a beautiful thing. Stories by M.T. Anderson and Stephen Graham Jones (among many others) were almost secondary, if I‘m honest. ❤️🎃🎃🎃❤️
so-soSome great essays and then some not so great ones. Feels kinda cozy when it‘s good, but Chabon sometimes seems to be pitching pearls from a lofty ivory tower and these are the “gimme a break” moments in the read.
so-soWhen the author was 18 he killed a girl from his high school in a car accident.It was not his fault,he was neither drunk nor driving recklessly,it was bad luck.This book is his account of “half a life” lived with guilt&he tries to be honest&vulnerable.Even though he writes with sincerity,I couldn‘t connect with him,with what happened&neither with the victim.I‘m not sure if it‘s the writing or because of the trauma, but it feels cold&disconnected.
Maybe someone needs to see this smile to make you feel better today. I know it makes me smile just to look at this photo.
We've had a tough summer in Vermont and my granddaughter Charley's smile has been the saving grace.
pickHumorous story about an exasperated latke, written in a way only Snicket can 😄
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, and some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!
