So many people I've come across have been indifferent to books, and quite a few hate books, any books.

John Williams is a mensch, and a good and loyal friend, to me, to @backlisted.bsky.social and to anyone who loves literature and reading. Now more than ever, you know where not to buy your books, or anything else for that matter.

Last night, I watched the Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now (2023) documentary on Netflix, which was a surprisingly tough watch. In addition to making me feel very anxious on his behalf, at points it was like watching Slade In Flame, in particular the record company and management types.
