Don't pretend that you know me, 'cause I don't even know myself!

@andrewbertaina No jokes but it is awesome. My brother was a community college professor and years later had a student reach out in a similar fashion and it meant a lot to him.

@TheCSullivan She led quite the extraordinary life. I would have loved to have been in some of the rooms she was in.

@DAMendelsohnNYC Just wait until they find out about the book, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

@LukeEpplin I’ve read a few of Lawrence Wright’s books, both fiction and nonfiction. They have all been very good. Nice to see a new book coming out later this year.

@John_Fogerty It’s one heck of a song and perfectly describes baseball. Belongs on any and all summer song playlists.

@DrDavidVernon I discovered him for the first time in a London Bookstore a couple of years ago. Read 3 or 4 of his books now. All of them really good.

@wmboyle4 Thanks for sharing otherwise I wouldn’t have seen this. I’ve read 4 or 5 of Joseph’s books and he’s a great writer.

@TurnbullMartin Some of those people may still be stuck in traffic.

@_motherslug The local bookstore and libraries should be the cornerstone of every neighborhood. You’re in your element. Nothing better than going into an indie, talking with people that are passionate about books and getting a recommendation from them.

@SmashedEars I think we are less than a month from release date. Looking forward to giving it a read.

[Chris Elkins @2thenakedeye]

@adrianmckinty I’m with you. I’ve always liked Dead Calm even before I realized who the actors were.

[Chris Elkins @2thenakedeye]

@benmezrich This book is a really good read. Should be made into a movie or 8 to 10 episode show.

@bsw5020 @iamalsorg 4 years and 2 months from today, you’ll be celebrating your 50th birthday. I bet it will be one heck of a party.

[Chris Elkins @2thenakedeye]

@spybrary @mccloskeybooks This is a really good read and a bargain at that price. Perfect for a summer escape.

[Chris Elkins @2thenakedeye]

@_motherslug I love it when my caller id shows an incoming call from my local independent bookstore. It’s like Christmas morning only I know the gift. The book(s) I’ve order have come in.

[Chris Elkins @2thenakedeye]

@TrueFactsStated Sure Scott called and was put on speakerphone. He then droned on for 20 minutes about nothing and McConnell remained lifeless lying there. Hey I just had a 20 minute call with Mitch….

[Chris Elkins @2thenakedeye]

@TrueFactsStated Looks nice and $2,500 seems reasonable.

[Chris Elkins @2thenakedeye]

@kristenklopez Daniel Mendelsohn is on X and he practically wrote the book. Ok his translation was released last year. Perhaps he can help.

[Chris Elkins @2thenakedeye]

@bsw5020 So happy to see this.

@JoyceCarolOates For a long time this was my favorite novel. While it’s since been replaced at the top, I still rank it very high.
