@5tevieM That guy looks like Colin Farrell's brother.

@ccmacdwriter Great cover. What's the best NPR Tiny Desk concert? Is it Harry Styles or Wu-Tang?

@ccmacdwriter Oh no you already made that joke! I'm deleting my Twitter account.

@ccmacdwriter What about Judge Reinhold, star of Beverly Hills Cop?

#onmybookshelf 10. I used to be incredibly into Diplo, for whatever reason, this book is a compilation of swimming pools, distant glowsticks and Diplo with an eyebrow raised, in different settings #diplo #128beatspersecond

@eligoldstone @meaghan_garvey Gary Stretch? 🤔

@estellecostanza @MarianKeyes The best Schitt's Creek joke was *I think" an allusion to a vibrator, after David came back from an out of town pub (and Alexis stayed at home) but it was so subtle and subliminal I thought about its comic brilliance for dayzzzx

#onmybookshelf 9. Only School of Life book I've liked. I once looked through a University Prospectus to try and find inspiration for a job/life/anything and remember feeling faintly depressed when I reached Zoology. And there was nothing #romankrznaric #howtofindfulfillingwork

#onmybookshelf 8. I once booked Will Self to intro his favourite film (Mulholland Drive) at a cinema I worked at and in our correspondence he once signed off an email as "Will Fuck". #willself #perfidiousman

#onmybookshelf 7. For a thin life aperture I was in to Alain, read most of his books, but only ever referenced the scene in the biscuit factory in The Pleasures & Sorrows of Work (you know it?). Disappointment in his output gradually crept in, it became coated in black mould.

#onmybookshelf 6. I love Broad City and when people ask me (almost never) to recommend my fav. episode I say "the one where Abbi spends £1400 in Whole Foods, hallucinating, after having her wisdom teeth out, accompanied by a cartoon bear". #imightregretthis #abbijacobson

#onmybookshelf 5. I used to be obsessed with Marco Pierre White, watching grainy YouTube videos of him hanging out with Keith Floyd in the 80's, decanting wine into unhealthy dishes etc. One of the great cook's autobiographies #marcopierrewhite #thedevilinthekitchen

#onmybookshelf 4. Sean Penn once told a story about how Bukowski tried to seduce his mum at a party. He told it really well. #talesofordinarymadness #charlesbukowski

#onmybookshelf 3. Travelling across France in the 60's, in a luxury old Delage car, with a waitress you met in a provincial town, motel rooms, late night drinking, sex, arriving in Paris one morning as the snow falls. #asportandapastime #jamessalter

#Onmybookshelf 2. When I write a book I also want the quote "an appalling book, we couldn't put it down" on the front cover. Have read all this guy, in the reading-objectional-stuff years #chadkultgen #averageamericanmale

[Book Buoy @bookbuoy]

#onmybookshelf 1. This is about a brooding slacker and aspiring writer who takes a job as a cinema usher to avoid all responsibilities. Read when I was that EXACT person (job, attitude etc) in my 20's. #thefuckup #arthurnersesian
