It’s come to my attention that some of you don’t know/forgot that Bari Weiss dated Kate McKinnon. This is a crucial element of her lore.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Stephanie's essay on D. A. Miller on Jane Austen is, alone, worth the price of admission! It's how I'm closing out my grad seminar on close reading this semester, paired with her Norton Library edited edition of Sense and Sensibility.

All to say: buy the book! It's shipping!

battle of the mega tomes! Thanks to @sinsleyh.bsky.social and co, I am now fifty pages from the finish line of Richardson’s mammoth, heartbreaking masterpiece- we’ve been reading it in a reading group for a year- but today my follow up tome has arrived: I’m about to dive into the Schatten-zone

Read Penelope Lively’s Heat Wave, part of my summer books summer reading. Great character studies, good toddler business (reminded me of Kiesling’s Golden State), and a wallop of an ending.

Nice!

Very confusing but ultimately amusing conversation as my mom explains to her friend that we both like the same author, Nicholas Sparks (but I like Muriel Spark).
