"I am thoroughly enjoying this Atticus Lish novel, which I have had as a Nook book for a long time, and am finally reading. For the longest time, I would stare at it in my Nook library, having some kind of vague idea of what it was about, but being completely wrong. I am pulling for these characters and am very impressed that a lot of the action takes place here in New York City, especially in Flushing, Queens. :)" — Aug 14, 2026 02:30PM

"I had been reading "Lonesome Dove," by Larry McMurtry, a novel that has received resounding praise from many critics. But I have put it down, after getting to a part representing a heartbreaking turn of events for fictional characters in a dusty setting of post-civil war Texas, near the border with Mexico. You see, I suppose I prefer to be heartbroken by actual events; hence I have begun reading Mikhail Zygar's book." — Jan 22, 2026 05:48PM

"I feel compelled to begin "Conflict" now, as it seems that we are drifting into combat strikes on military targets in... Venezuela? I wrote before, perhaps mistakenly, that GWOT was an example of us taking our eyes off the ball. Somehow, I wrote that somewhere important, having failed to check first, in my mind, my own lived experience. We had many plans and opportunities, to change things in Venezuela, not bomb them" — Oct 31, 2025 01:35AM
