Just started this. It is quiet, sad, and lovely. So far, so good.
"But Chris was not in love with Val. His crush on her was strictly academic. He didn't want to see her naked, he wanted to read her thesis and then read everything she cited in her thesis." I dunno, that sounds like love to me. #nerd
So we did not quite fit in, thank goodness; alienated is the only way to be, after all.
pickOne of my favorite books of 2016. Viva la analog revolution!
The dictionary says the word monster comes from the Latin word 'monstrum' which means 'to show'...but the mob says "We've never seen monsters, so they can't be there..." The truth is that there are a lot of things we don't see everyday that are right under our noses.
So glad Ryan North kept up with marginalia in the Squirrel Girl graphic novel. As the Hale's say in their intro, this book is a straight-up riot.
Happy 100th Birthday to our favorite literary witch, Shirley Jackson.

pickKevin Sampsell (ep 3) of @Powells and @FuturetenseBooks says: I'm not sure if there's anyone as nakedly honest as Melissa Broder this year. The poet has unleashed an essay collection so self-dissecting that it's almost unsettling. But Broder is funny too and a lot of what she unveils about her darkest depths are probably not unlike so many of our secrets. So Sad Today is a stunning game-changer.
