Agree w/ Rex on this, too. If you’re looking: Stan’s Newsday Saturday Stumper consistently tough with few exceptions.

Love Senna’s stuff. The husband in this novel is so Percival Everett (or what I imagine he’s like)! Snagged my copy before the dreaded sticker.

My wife and I enjoyed this last weekend! We were both curious about one element of the productionβ€”might drop you an email.

More to protect the book than cover the more than likely salacious material. Lots of trashy novels, but when covered, one can imagine everybody’s reading Tolstoy.

Inspired to share this from your Eliot posts, @nonsuchbook.bsky.social. :)

When I lived in Moscow in the early aughts, I read on the metro to/from work. I followed the Russian habit of covering my reading material. I made book covers from New Yorkers. Here’s the one for MIDDLEMARCH.

Hit or miss for me w/ Cohen blurbs. I have never been disappointed by a Catherine Lacey blurb though; she’s batting 1.000! So in her case, blurbs work for me.

Attention: Lesser Ruins/Mark Haber fans!

I made a Spotify playlist of Marcel's Mix.

Mark provides this playlist at the end of the novel. (Which I'm loving and have one more part to go)
