Some poetry I could think about and feel inspired by, like the work of Frank O'Hara. And probably the Complete Works of Shakespeare.(less)

Simply More by Cynthia Erivo

This is... aggressively 2014 coded. It's more of a series of regurgitated, platitudinous mantras than a book... except they've all been said before. Even the analogy of comparing craft with running was already done by Murakami 18 years ago.

Night People by Mark Ronson

Reads like a parody about privilege and nepotism – I just don’t think Mark Ronson is in on the joke.

Starts off super strong with an accessible history of the three stages of our internet crisis -- writing, the printing press, the internet. However, and I think this is honestly more of a compliment than an insult, I don't think the author is chronic ...more

Reservoir Bitches by Dahlia de la Cerda

Dahlia de la Cerda writes with pure RAGE, and rightly so. 10 women are murdered EVERY DAY by men in Mexico, yet only 5% of cases ever result in conviction.

These interlinked short stories give voices to those women, before the final story ignites a ga

I say this as an Emily Henry enthusiast: Emily.... slow down!!!! We don't need a book every single year if that means sacrificing the quality!!!!! This feels like a first draft that needed another look, because the structure honestly doesn't work. Pr ...more

Friedrich Nietzsche
“One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Ernest Hemingway
“His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and of their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless.”
Ernest Hemingway

Irvine Welsh
“The train was nearly twenty minutes late, an excellent performance by British Rail standards.”
Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting

Christopher Isherwood
“I hadn't even the necessary credentials for schoolmastering - that last refuge of the unsuccessful literary man”
Christopher Isherwood, Lions and Shadows: An Education in the Twenties

Mahmoud Darwish
“Fame is the enemy of instinct and spontaneity, the difference between what is said and what ought to be said, and the transformation of one person into two”
Mahmoud Darwish, A River Dies of Thirst: Journals
