“We have been there in the books... & where we go, if we are any good, there you can go as we have been. A country, finally, erodes & the dust blows away, the people all die & none of them were of any importance permanently, except those who practiced the arts.” Ernest Hemingway

Merry Xmas, #BondTwitter! Do you have a favorite use of Xmas in the Bond series? #JamesBond ⚪️⚪️🟢🔴

@ryanhallyall Got my Y'all - 0 - Meter as a Christmas gift today. As an Ohio resident, not looking forward to using it anytime soon, if you get my "drift." @ryanhallyall

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from the Halls, Y’all!

Have yourself a Merry Pulp Christmas (2023 also marks the year of the Great Pulp Heroes that @pulpfest will be celebrating)!

If these latest 007 rumors are true (& I'm skeptical, although the actor's age is plausible), we're getting another under six-foot actor whom online sources claim is five-eleven. Given most actors hedge on heights, we can assume he's less than that. Cast the character as written!

We've got a stand-out ad in the latest @bookforum! LOVE ME FIERCE IN DANGER from @EllroyReader is as good as the cover. Get to know the sometimes dark and twisted story behind one of America's favorite crime fiction writers: bit.ly/3uBEWVu

It’s been 35+ years since #Hemingway’s The Garden of Eden first appeared and rarely has Tom Jenks talked about the process of editing the great writer’s unfinished manuscript until now. @MarkCirino

@Thogstacker James Garner?

Who has a last name that’s a verb? Like: Tom Waits, Brian Sitts, Cheryl Strayed?

We all loved when Blofeld would end the annual SPECTRE Xmas party with a song. 🐙🎄🎤

@thelaceylondon "Manifold Destiny" is a deadly cookbook.
