Twitter: Hur hur, English Lit is useless.

Also Twitter: Why oh why don't schools teach a subject all about the kinds of critical thinking and textual analysis that would challenge the spread of misinformation?

AITA if I (20F) told a guy (28M) he was the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry, but am reconsidering after I toured his family estate and he saved my family (60M, 56F, 22F, 18F, 17F, 15F) from social ruin??
EDIT: He has an estate of ten thousand a year

A #sketchbooks point today for @yearsofreading who was super quick to get SHUGGIE BAIN by @Doug_D_Stuart. Shortlisted for the #2020bookerprize, it’s a stunning debut which lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty. https://t.co/b7XkIkfQ6M

Back on Thursday!

We said something exciting was coming...

In 2019, we published a multi-instalment dialogue on the state of Modernist Studies: on the academy, the job market, publication processes & adjacency.

Today, TMR adds @KristinBluemel's reflections to the series: https://t.co/8PqeAirZbo

Good morning. This is your bookish weather update...

I OPENED A BOOK AND IN I STRODE
