Stephen King

THE QUEEN OF BAD INFLUENCES, by Jim Shepard: Excellent short stories, many dealing with disasters: the great hurricane of 1935, the Johnstown flood, the "Big Burn" of 1910 in Idaho, the sinking of the Lusitania. You'll love these.

If you've read YESTERYEAR (Caro Clair Burke), you should read TRAD WIFE (Sarah Langan). Two interesting looks at the same phenomenon. They complement each other.

Quotes: 16 ▼ 42%

Stephen King

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

YESTERYEAR, Caro Claire Burke: Funny and sharp enough to draw blood from both sexes. This book is going to be around for a long time. It's a feminist CATCH-22.

Cool idea! What if someone who could hear (and sometimes see) the dead fell into a city's water supply and decomposed? And after drinking the water, EVERYONE could do it? MY SAD DEAD (Netflix. September 24). My old amigo Pablo Larrain directed.

Trump wouldn't go to sleep at meetings if he didn't stay up all night texting silly AI shit. I don't think he wants to be President at all. It turns out it's...gasp!...actual WORK!!

JANSPLAINING is an interesting book blog. This lady takes no shit, which is sort of exhilarating. She takes on the ever-popular blurb-o-mat, pointing out such words as "propulsive," "epic," (which means long), and my favorite "luminous"--which means not much really happens in this book.

Survey says the most popular soft drink in Maine is Canada Dry Ginger Ale. First, it's not dry, it's wet. Second of all, the Maine drink is Moxie. Everybody knows that. I don't drink it myself, because it tastes really weird.

Tonight Trump will re-litigate the 2020 election. Why? In support of his SAVE act, which is actually a Voter Suppression Act. This is a Hail Mary effort to keep his corrupt power grab from being swamped by a blue wave in November.
