A lover of libraries of all kinds. Talking about books on WCAI is a joy. Once a librarian, always a librarian.
And this is even a more ancient list of scary books …

A song I have been listening to for decades … and has just returned into my heart. I still deeply miss Nanci Griffith. What a gift to have seen her live at Passims so many years ago …

"(Reviews “are all a species of stupidity, even when they are not stupid,” [Updike] wrote in 1970, before he began to write them regularly himself.)" A very fine Dwight Garner piece on the big new edition of John Updike's letters. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/b...

Thoreau, Oct. 20, 1855. I find, here and there on the hill, apples, sometimes three or four, carried to the mouth of a striped squirrel's hole, 4 or 5 rods from the tree, with the marks of his teeth in them, by which he carried them, and the chankings or else fragments of the skin of others there.

This weekend's WSJ Fiction Chronicle leads with Lee Clay Johnson's "Bloodline," a story of gonzo small-town demagoguery in the vein of Coover, Gass, Crews and other chroniclers of the North American berserk. It is, to put it mildly, a timely subject. www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

The bell in First Congregational Church in Falmouth, MA was forged in 1796 by Paul Revere. It has been rung over 30,000,000 times. Today the congregation rang it especially for the No Kings event.

Susan Stamberg joined NPR at its start, originally to cut tape — literal tape, with a single-sided blade — at a time when commercial networks almost never hired women. n.pr/493MG7W
