If we can get 20 people to donate $5 by the end of the day it would make a huge difference!!! Can you be one of them? 🙏🏽

James by Percival Everett: a retelling of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn from the POV of Jim. Bound to be on all of the “Best of 2024” lists and likely to become an American classic. A must-read: bookshop.org/a/24138/9780385…

50 Shades of Gray, but make it highbrow literature — that’s the way one reader summed up Miranda July’s All Fours. 😆Have you read this one yet? What did you think? bookshop.org/a/24138/9780593…

It would be fun if public libraries were well-funded and open in the evenings and we built a culture where it’s normal to gather at the library after work and browse the shelves and chat about the latest books and read the Saturday night away.

We’ll be posting book recs regularly again so stay tuned!!
In the meantime, we are always updating our shop page where you can find all our favorites grouped into categories for your convenience 😊👇🏽

These people want to strip away everything that makes life worth living—literature, language, art, poetry, passion, beauty—until we live in a bleak utilitarian hell of emails, AI girlfriends and machine-generated movies.
ALT Michael T. Foster tweet that reads "I'm convinced literature in general can't really be taught at scale and shouldn't be. Just teach kids how to write a decent email and skip the BS about what the color green represents in the Great Gatsby."
