Hey, Desmond Dekker wrote a song about us, you Garamoron

No, I totally get that! I used to be a TNR guy, and I switched at some point and don't remember why. I agree it is kind of fucked up.

Thanks for inviting me! One of the biggest honors of my career.

Dave claims his bread is "killer," and yet on the logo he seems to be playing a C add #5 (muting the low E with his pinky). They should rename it Dave's Jazzy Bread imo

I recommend reading this to yourself in a President Thomas J. Whitmore voice. (Then buying some small-press books from your favorite indie store.)

a surprising recipe for a hot afternoon:

fill a glass with ice, top with half iced coffee and half lemon-lime gatorade.

Will this be good? absolutely fucking not. totally disgusting. but it *is* surprising

Emily Henry Partners With Pinkberry on Sweepstakes | Kirkus Reviews It’s the latest in what appears to be a craze for author partnerships with chain restaurants.

Novelists, you might want to be thinking about which fast-food dessert you want to embrace: www.kirkusreviews.com/news-and-fea...

Brilliant interviewer, brilliant author. This is going to be great

'The Stalker' is one of the most appalling characters in recent American fiction Paula Bomer's dizzying book is a fascinating look at an absurdly stupid young man in the early 1990s who manages to sustain himself despite having no evidence of a soul.

Paula Bomer's new novel is about a cruel, misogynistic sociopath who lies about being successful in real estate and hurts anybody he can. I wrote about it for NPR: www.npr.org/2025/05/25/n...

Look it’s not the mouse’s fault that your cookies are dry as hell

They really mean to, and they do
They pass on all the skills they had
And add some extra... they love you!

Isabel Allende has a new novel and a message: Don’t give up While promoting her latest book, ‘My Name Is Emilia del Valle,’ the celebrated author discusses independence for women, censorship and surviving a coup.

"I am 82 years old, I have seen everything, and I know that there are cycles. Things seem really bad. You think that you cannot get out of this, it’s going to get worse probably, but we will get out of it. Don’t give up."

I was honored to talk with Isabel Allende: www.ocregister.com/2025/05/07/i...

when it comes to the nhl playoffs i would like to simply say, “play ball”

there's an author acting weird on here and I'm not even getting involved, I'm just a man living his life and listening to some tunes, free as a bird

I love this book!
