If you aren't sure, you can find out what kind of creature you are. Are you an ethereal Luna Moth, a wise Tapir, a social Sea Otter, or something else entirely?

My review of Trisha Ready's first book, Nobuko, was published in this week's issue of The Stranger. Her book uses a sequence for a short form that reminds me of the OULIPO's use of constraint (Calvino's formula for If on a winter’s night a traveler)...

@DodddWhite Well is technically The Great Federal Way novel but I’d argue Federal Way is more Seattle than Seattle.

[Matt Briggs @seedcake]

@DodddWhite I agree none of the great Seattle novels and short collections are remembered even by Seattleites. Well, Matthew McIntosh, Cruddy Lynda Barry, Long for This World, Michael Byers. Discovered Oregon writers Mink River recently. It’s not it discovery but books instantly lost.

The New York Journal of Books (@NYJournalofBook) posted my review of Susanne Clarke’s wintertime booklet, The Wood at Midwinter. Her book had me thining about fantasy and anthropomorphism. #books #bookreviews

@mbsycamore But if you think about it, there aren’t very many hours of daylight between now and October 31.

The real debate about Haitians we should be having is that the USA and France owe Haiti many billions in reparation.

@NMoonitz a lot of terrible advice on this thread. With matching and compound interest and time, a 401K is a great investment. the catch is you will see the lagest return over time and tend not to have much money early in your career when you have the most time.

@NMoonitz It can be said of capitalism what Winston Churchill once said of democracy—it is the worst possible system, except for all the others. -- Robert J. Samuelson in The Washington Post.

The certain dog?!?!?!?

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

so much more fun to read in a book group. basically "Ulysses" is musical, & akin to a Catholic mass celebrating language (i.e., Irish idiomatic speech), the vicissitudes of life, life itself as a stream continuously rushing past, unfathomable. a sensation as of life itself emerges from the Joycean consciousness, felt rather than understood.

"I observed immediately that dating was identical to looking for a job. You needed to send out a lot of resumes. You needed to interview to find a promising match. But you didn't need to make a career of it. I essentially created a sales funnel." @seedcake https://t.co/sWrkrFQgUZ

@matthewjsimmons I have bought books you talked about. I think I already had your books before Twitter. I was curious to see if you could get interest in Happy Rock. There must be a publisher out there. In terms of main character, I think about Bean Dad from time to time. As in How’s John doing?
