@Storyaliz No, but just added it to our list!

Have you read The Yellow Wallpaper yet or lately? Published in 1892. Still painfully relevant. Is it about a woman being gaslit by her husband and the medical establishment? Or a woman losing touch with reality?

I an desperately out of shelf space, so I went through my 2,700-volume library today in an effort to clean up, consolidate, and downsize. I am done. Please clap.

I have no idea if anyone I know is still on Twitter but just in case I want to tell you that my new book The Midnight Train is out today.

@DanRossGoodman 💯

Reading should be (and is!) a joy, not a chore.

@BenafaFavourite @DanRossGoodman @netflix Totally agree, and did not mean to suggest otherwise. It's just so rare that the [different sort of] quality of a film version can compare favorably to the quality of the book it's based on.

@DanRossGoodman @GoodRichesBooks @netflix The experience that comes from reading and watching a movie are two different things

Clasic fiction readers,what is your current read?

Long before social media, Smith understood something timeless: People do not simply want attention. They want to be worthy of admiration. The Theory of Moral Sentiments is a profound meditation on dignity, character, virtue, and becoming the kind of person others can genuinely esteem. Still remarkably relevant. 📚#AdamSmith #TheoryOfMoralSentiments #BooksAndIdeas #IntellectualLife #ReadingCulture #ScottishEnlightenment
