This has been on my to-read list for the better part of a decade, so glad I'm actually reading it now:

Just for that, I'm gonna read Emily Giffin's The One and Only next.

I haven't read in a couple weeks. God i suck.

I've become moderately addicted. I didn't read anything on the commute to work today and I was anxious as fuck the entire time. I should've just started The One and Only. But I thought I should finish up my podcast queue.

Paradise by Toni Morrison.

FUCK, that lady can write.

Teach Like A Champion 2.0...

It's almost go time!!

Blue Ocean Strategy.

On Writing by Stephen King.

Finally got around to reading Go Set A Watchman. Critics are dumb. This Atticus is real. Lovely and ugly. It's not as good as TKAM, but Atticus is somehow even more admirable as a segregationist.

So, Michael Stipe and Annie Clark both list 'Play It as It Lays' by Joan Didion as one of their favorite books.

I guess I should check it out.

I've been wracking my brain and can't figure out which chapter you mean. Not the one with Ulysses friend in Austria? Granted I don't have my copy in front of me.

Also:


Holy shit.

Bought it but have not sat down and dove in yet. Need to get on that.

I've been trying to find it for a day and just can't. Ugh. I'm going to have to re-read it to find it.

Hey it's the Parks and Rec girl.

I think you might mean the Austrian chapter. It's early-ish. Maybe 200 pages?

Also if you haven't read I The Supreme you should add it to your list. I'm 150 pages in and really loving it, think it'd be right up your alley too.

I just read this, fantastic is right.

Imma try. It sounds fascinating, but I'm deep into Franzen / my dissertation and it's tough to break away.
