The new issue of @outlooksprings comes with crayons so you can draw all over my story if you want to.

@CHRISF0GLE Top 5 worst reading experience of my life. Actively, aggressively disliked it. Will never read Moshfegh ever again because it was so bad.

@jeremydenk That’s way too much George Saunders

@tijbed “I need to read every trendy big book.”

@CHRISF0GLE I’ll take the signed Girl With Curious Hair

@indigojackal Where’s the Hakushu?

@spiccarella @BurialMagazine Nobody ever said pure “quality.” And I’d argue part of the reason he is so well known for his nonfic is because it is that good. I love his fiction, and prefer IJ, Oblivion, and TPK over everything, but much of his fiction is flawed, including Broom. Supposedly is bulletproof.

[Pete Stevens @petebiblio]

@spiccarella @BurialMagazine I took the op to be an overall and objective ranking of his books. Doesn’t matter what we think personally, his nonfiction is a major aspect of his legacy. Supposedly represents that the best.

[Pete Stevens @petebiblio]

@spiccarella @BurialMagazine If we’re trying to be objective, I think Supposedly has to be there. It’s too important to his social significance/historical importance.

[Pete Stevens @petebiblio]

@BurialMagazine @spiccarella Broom doesn’t belong. Let’s be honest.

[Pete Stevens @petebiblio]

@writeconscious Nah. No way IJ isn’t one and no way Girl makes it in the top five and above Oblivion.

@tomidispenser Zero effort engagement bait

@jonathanbfine Do I have to read Gravity’s Rainbow?

@natt941 @zenahitz Wild that no one is saying Whitman. Leaves of Grass 1955 is America.

[Pete Stevens @petebiblio]

@orc_mode Oh, it’s beautiful for sure. Maybe the best Moby-Dick edition to read. But that copy is not in great shape and it doesn’t even have the dust jacket!

[Pete Stevens @petebiblio]

@orc_mode Great edition but that store is trying to rob you. Ridiculously overpriced.

@amolitor99 @darwin8u Why would it be “sad”?

[Cleveland Review of Books @clereviewbooks]

"Kohler, too, has dreams: dreams of freedom, of running away from his colleagues, his family, anyone who’s in any way different from himself. And his dreams...are equally unattainable."

@TLiterarian I’m the complete opposite. I go out of my way to only have hardcover. This is from a collector perspective but also the tactile aesthetics of a hardcover are vastly superior to a paperback.

@ReddCinema If you’re literally Drake, this is a weak-ass, generic bottle collection.

@ClaudiuDP @tekbog I thought you were joking at first because obviously Nolan is obsessed with nonlinear time and The Odyssey itself - as told by Homer - is nonlinear. Nolan’s Odyssey will almost certainly be nonlinear. It’s probably part of what interested him in the project.
