I should be watching a baseball game right now but a book will do.

I have some questions about the marginal utility of his film criticism.

would be equally cool if there was a park slope polyamory book written by a goose

Dude I teach Faulkner almost every semester. Does that count?

I almost only listen to leftist baseball podcasts but that’s just me. So many thanks to @alixbeeston.bsky.social and @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social for letting me talk about Downtime. Alix is the best reader and not surprisingly the best here too. Book is available from @columbiaup.bsky.social.

Feedly works for me

I did a Q&A about Downtime and slow motion, which certainly is one way to end up talking about The Great Beauty and The Matrix in the same sentence. My thanks to @ucberkeleyenglish.bsky.social.
