Auto-Steelers-reblog davepress: When I haven’t been carrying a book with me—like Matt Gallaway’s The Metropolis Case—I’ve been reading the books I have on the Kindle on my phone, or the comics on the comiXology app. Since Saturday it’s been Mark Twain’s Autobiography and I read some of the extensive discussions the editors…

SisterMaryMartha Dispenses No Wisdom: So I don’t... →
Book critics, intellectuals, and weather gods take note: the queen of the whispery post has spoken, and her words are good.   srmarymartha: So I don’t really do book reviews?

In many ways the world has not changed at all
since the beginning of civilization, but I think it’s fair to say that one thing that’s relatively new is that on long afternoons in the corporate office (when the winter sun, slanting through the windows, makes you dizzy with fatigue and boredom) you can ‘google urself’ and find ppl who have the same name as you (but who you don’t know and have never met) and you...
