@queenofbithynia I don’t think I spend too much time online, either. But I do know who this man is. Though does he drink it or inject it? And what do we mean by too much?

I don’t think I spend too much time online but the other day I was talking to my co-worker, with whom I share an approximate age, profession, & a few peculiar preoccupations, about this & that, & I said You know that one rich guy who drinks his son’s blood?—

Part of my work entails the aesthetics and care of books on a shelf. I usually place things spine-flush, but set back 1-3 inches from the edge depending on depth of shelf / size of books.

Imagine writing a book so successful they sell it at the top of Sears Tower 20 years later.

@book_historia Only if you’re going to stop curating the vibe? I should hope not. It needs it.

Oh no, I’m gonna have to take “Vibe Curator” out of my profile once I become an actual curator, huh?

@SophieHaigney This is the thing about book clubs. I’d prefer just to join a book people club but we all get to read whatever we want?

@briancassidy Podcast - Sixty Songs That Explain the Nineties. And I’m not really a music person.

Hive mind: I will be driving some twelve hours alone in a couple days. Looking for audiobook or possibly podcast recs. Prefer nonfiction or genre fiction. Though last audiobook I really enjoyed was Lincoln at the Bardo. So what do I know.

Have always though I (private librarian) should take my husband (therapist) on the road to our home library projects that involve conflicted book lovers, dramatic decisions to be made. I envision a time slot somewhere between the Great British Baking Show and Pawn Stars.

I would like a TV show where a librarian and a woodworker travel around helping people manage their book collections. Talk about their favorites, which ones are valuable, which ones they might donate, then build shelves and book nooks and libraries to organize them.

@Kim_Mawhinney Is this the author talk I attended last night?

“It’s not so much a question, more an observation…” Practically every single lecture I have ever attended.

@_megconley This confused me as well. Perhaps worthy of a local or regional newspaper but international?
