87-year-old king blessing us with a novel about the Great Depression in the thick of 2025. This motherfucker knows everything.

@thoughtographic Ever do any playmats?

[Ben @benJAMMIN128]

@AmericanGwyn I posit 'Mason & Dixon' would be a worthy candidate, too!

[Ben @benJAMMIN128]

@_motherslug Wild at Heart is lowkey mine. Highly underrated and just so insane, funny, and fun. Lost Highway also excellent!

Please vote. Vote for your daughters, sisters, wives, friends, and neighbors. Vote for a better society, not fueled by hate. After today my wife and I may be unable to continue growing our family. Not safely. Please vote for Harris.

[Ben @benJAMMIN128]

The viability of tackling climate change and the safety of so many of our friends and loved ones are on the ballot today. Please think of them, future generations, and our friends around the world - all of whom are impacted by who we choose. Vote wisely and with love!

@maxdaniellawton She's a revelation. I've not personally read prose that transport me in such impressionistic ways from anyone else. Enjoy!

@ceaubin Love this! Side note: I found 'Lincoln in the Bardo' to be so beautiful and hope you have an enjoyable experience with it, as well!

[Ben @benJAMMIN128]

@travelstoriesyt Jealous that you wrangled a copy! I look forward to hearing your thoughts when you get around to it.

[Ben @benJAMMIN128]

@PrezWhitehouse @Hipster_Nate Another awesome addition! Can't believe that these albums came out that long ago 😅

[Ben @benJAMMIN128]

Too obvious...

"O autumn winds that bake and burn
And all the world to darkness turn,
Now storm and seize and make of me...
A swarm of leaves from Autumn's Tree!" - Ray Bradbury

Wishing everyone a happy and pleasantly spooky Halloween! 🍂🎃

@maxdaniellawton @BretEastonEllis I've been skeptical of his stuff due to the usual commentary of his that gets circulated (he's entitled to opine, but certainly comes across as petty/pretentious - at least out of context). I did grab a copy of 'Freedom' recently, though, so will be curious as to your verdict.

[Ben @benJAMMIN128]

@ceaubin Well said - appreciate the nuance! On the same topic, have you read Sontag's 'On Photography' or 'Regarding the Pain of Others?'

[Ben @benJAMMIN128]

@maxdaniellawton Darn! Misunderstood!
