How to read everything? Still pinching myself that my @NewDirections book about a bellicose grammarian is on this @nationalbook list. As Tom Hulce's spellbound Wolfie says, when sampling hair-metal wigs in Amadeus: 'They’re all so beautiful. Why don’t I have 3 heads?' Or 30.

[Maya Solovej @Maya_Solovej]

@_michaelbarron @NewDirections Thank you so much, Michael, though I cannot take credit for bringing the books to ND. (It's still very nice news for everyone.)
