a wonderful, wonderfully odd, and kinda perfectly "Kowalski-y" story today from @diedisappointed! "I read a book review that ended with the reviewer explaining how he was going to kill himself when this review was published. It certainly was a shock!" havehashad.com/hadposts/typic…

this book by @bartlebytaco is truly funny, smart, and splenetically silly or sillily splenetic? the kind of book that makes you want to read more or write more, which I think is the highest honor i can give a piece of art…

my new book is out today. look at it. there are roughly 30,000 words inside. that's nothing, an afternoon of your life. you need it for your health. buy like 12 copies, buy 12-25 copies. for your community. love, sebastian penguinrandomhouse.com/books/772204/f…

immaculate rural ny vibes. autumnally crisp prose. just a beautiful, eerie book.

recently have enjoyed stumbling upon this facebook group for jaws fans, where one of its members has kept posting extremely tedious fake "tidbits" about the jaws films and other members get angry about it
