Publishers, I am here for all your books that are sad, edgy, irritating, frustrating and disturbing. Keep ‘em coming.

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@abookofsymbols I have heard good things about this book.

@emilynussbaum Amazing that you posted this now. Was just talking about trying this because he was so good in Little Shop of Horrors.

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@emilynussbaum Julio T is a major talent. I love his shows!

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@Nancy_Pearl Maybe the enjoyment I took from reading in my youth was more intense because the experience was newer, but I think I get steadily better at finding the kinds of books I like. And I have high hopes for retirement reading!

@phillipstribune I love the insight about movies that spark interest in the wider world of cinema.

Would love to see you or someone expand on how to guide the young towards cinema that opens up.

@sw_holocron He was amazing.

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@SWCozyCoffee Yes, bring on season 2.

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@missjuliebrown You and Bob and @mybadauditions were a hoot together on that show. Thanks for the laughs! 🙏

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@drvolts Flat? Did we watch the same movie? I thought it was a blast. Clever genre play, a fascinating variation on RL’s themes, very entertaining and lively.

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

I truly believe library workers have the potential to help with this challenge.

@RAforAll Lately I’ve been the one at my workplace explaining how things have changed over the last few…decades. “I feel old” has become my refrain. 😂

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@likaluca I’m heartened by the popularity of annual reading challenges like BookRiot’s that are explicitly designed to help people try new things. Libraries like do these, too.

Read a good article to this effect recently:

Let your kids read horror. It builds empathy and prepares them for life. It teaches them about diversity and survival. It shows them characters just like them. Regardless of age, there are plenty of books for them. Let them read and feel and learn and grow. Long live horror.

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@Tuphlos She is the greatest.

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@neglectedbooks Great point. I feel this way when reading prepub. Can be intimidating.

But there are legit reasons to review canon: b/c it’s YOUR encounter w a classic; + just to practice basic critical skills, build confidence. What you do is v advanced. (Am a fan.)

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@zunguzungu Natalia Ginsburg. I have a stack of her books I want to read. The few I’ve read so far have been amazing.

[Stephen Sposato 📚 @stephensposato]

@Nancy_Pearl This was on my TBR list but your endorsement was the nudge I needed. Thanks. Halfway through and it is stunning.

@selfstyledsiren Once upon a time I felt like a Bad Gay for loving Rope. But I love it extremely. (Like Swoon and Compulsion, too. But Rope is the best.)
