The true measure of a good book: I still think about @legroff’s The Vaster Wilds whenever I walk through the woods (which is often). I imagine which logs and rocks might provide the best shelter if I had to survive overnight in the winter…

The best news to come out of Florida in a long time. I’ll add it to my bucket list of stores to visit…

Dear @CentralHudson, my friends are literally homeless and couch-surfing because you can’t bother to call back their landlord so they can get a certificate of occupancy.

@legroff Ooh, going to have to revisit this one. Both his beginnings and his endings are so memorable… Beginning of Underworld, ending of White Noise…

Nobody can begin a book like DeLillo (Libra).

@Ltward2 I’m getting a lot out of this book. I’m taking a lot a way from this book. I’m amazed and horrified by this book.

@AvashiaNeema I’m listening to the audiobook of her latest memoir, which she reads and there are at least two songs at the end of each chapter — it’s really good, highly recommend. Just finished the chapter that features that song.

Been singing “The Mother” by Brandi Carlile all day. “Oh but all the wonders I have seen I will see a second time/ From inside of the ages through your eyes…”

@shaindelr Car phone.

@katekilla DeLillo

@andevers Piccolo Buco was our favorite pizza, but might be a line. And I loved The Forum and The Pantheon, opted to just look at Colosseum from outside…

@Urrealism Kudos, Luis! You say end of June, eh? I hope it’s a fun party I might crash!

Thank you, New York. What a whirlwind. Next stop, Santa Fe. #goodnightirene

@KyleLukoff I discovered Roper Blackerby Woolfolk the other day… I’m also super fascinated by stones where the person is clearly no longer living, but there is no end date…

@Tuphlos I like a smoky scotch, but I also like the more floral delicateness of Japanese whisky, on occasion…

Oh hey, there’s @runwithskizzers out in the wild @nypl! :)

@mariskreizman I’m Night of a Thousand Wobbles.

@cmclymer So glad people have mentioned Whangdoodles! And for roles, Victor/Victoria, Sound of Music (pretty sure I had a crush on her there), and of course Mary Poppins.

FAVORITE JULIE ANDREWS CHARACTER GO

@mollytempleton Perhaps a little off to the side of what you’re looking for, but the essays in Sabrina Imbler’s How Far the Light Reaches blend personal narrative and science/nature writing in a way that I found irresistible.

@Tuphlos Also, it’s not like they are being translated. It is literally layout and font size…

@likaluca They say if you have three, there is always the dumb one, the asshole, and your favorite. That pretty much holds true for us…
