This collection of newspaper articles from the 1930‘s had a few really interesting ones and then a couple that while they were definitely of the time, they were tough to read now. His perspective of NYC from many different walks of life, rich and poor, during this pivotal time was illuminating and revealing. #BookspinBingo #roll100 @TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper

AmyG These are amazing. I love the bad Mom card. Once, when we moved, my kids asked me what was for dinner. It was a LONG day and a friend had brought us donuts earlier. I put the box on the table and said….here, dinner. Bad Mom Card #563 1mo

According to Storygraph, I‘ve been reading this since last December. But you know something? It‘s the kind of book that almost demands slow reading. Not that the pieces are dense or difficult to read. There is just an attitude of slowing down and treasuring the moment throughout. It‘s been a comforting reading experience in a way. I‘ve got 12 more essays to go. I think it will be bittersweet to finish this volume.

3✨ I really enjoy Steve Martin‘s humor, and while I didn‘t find all of the comics funny. The illustrations are amazing and I did enjoy reading all the dog comics.

“The subtlest change in New York is something people don‘t speak much about but that is in everyone‘s mind. The city, for the first time in its long history, is destructible. A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers…”
The language here is terrifying, and it‘s incredible that this was written in 1948, so prescient of the possibility of horror. ⬇️

psalva Or maybe it‘s not incredible. I suppose planes had struck the Empire State Building. Maybe this really was in the back of people‘s minds. Still, reading this gave me pause. 5mo
