@Comichistorians Great post- handy to have this list bookmarked. I greatly enjoyed Thunderman, but I call bullshit on Moore fictionalizing the entire a comic book industry, but removing himself from the equation.
@johnpughreads Full disclosure, I work at the Met so I get to install all this stuff. It keeps me from writing as much as I like, but it’s a wonderful place to work.
Saw a bunch of writers posting ‘I Like Words’ and assumed it was referencing the amazing cover letter Robert Pirosh used to introduce himself to Hollywood as a screen writer. Apparently not, but this letter is worth a read if you really do like words. https://t.co/tidhsfAMpS
@Nickyshearsby22 I had a big twist my wife anticipated while reading a rough draft .I had to rewrite some stuff to make it a shocker. Now she’s my go to for twist detecting.
@StephenMConway This is the best celebration of words I’ve ever read. Possibly the greatest writer’s cover letter ever written. https://t.co/tidhsfAMpS
@johnpughreads I went to Japan last year and it was the trip of a lifetime. Fell madly in love with the place. We were going to go again in February but adopted a dog instead. Your daughter ia going to love it
I’ve been trying to read Russian literature this year and so far I’m 0 for two. Tried to read Brothers Karamazov. Made it 300 pages but all the Orthodox Church talk was killing me so I bailed. I’ve been thinking about it frequently and may return to it in the future. Then I tried Master and Margarita - thought surely I’lllove a book about Satan and his weird retinue wandering around Moscow. But I just couldn’t get into it. Too many characters that were more types than people. Now I’m about to dig into Anna Karenina. If I bail on this one too it’s a strike out, so I must persevere.
A corpse flower inexplicably grows on a grass island in the parking lot of a strip mall in Greenfield, Wisconsin. The EPA dispatches botanist Marjorie Gallant to investigate. She expects a media circus but finds only a small band of teenage burnouts drawn to the flower like moths to a flame. The EPA warns her: the flower’s sulfides are more than foul—they twist the minds of anyone who breathe them in, driving them to madness.
