Just saw Baker & Taylor is closing. Probably good for the industry that there’s just one wholesaler now

I love just agreeing to stuff I don’t understand in Finnish. The cashier could be like “do you want to pay an extra €100 for that?” And I’d say joo kiitos ☺️

I read Julian Barnes’s Departure(s) a few weeks ago and there’s a lot I’m ruminating on but one thing I keep thinking about is this brief parenthetical:

“Martin Amis likes (soon it will be ‘liked’) to say, in a melancholy way, ‘The trouble is, you can’t make new old friends.’”

@agordon.me is so right about this buttondown.com/Booktime/arc...

I have become interested in the experience of ordinary Germans during the rise of Nazism. You know, for no particular reason whatsoever. There are classics in the field I could have tackled, but I chose to read two lesser known and more recent works on the subject. It was a harrowing couple of weeks but well worth the intellectual adventure.
I felt compelled to read Promise Me You'll Shoot Yourself based on the title alone (browsing library stacks is the original and undefeated recommendation algorithm).
