Mookse

Enjoyed this as I plan to finally read "Lesser Ruins" next... Then I can listen to the relevant episodes of Three Percent, @mookse & @beyondzeropod. Feels like I'm measuring out my life not in coffee spoons, but Mark Haber appearances on (great) literary podcasts!

He’s so fun (as always)!

Alice James is one of my favorite @nyrbclassics!

@bibliopaul @thethoughtofth1 I am! So good! So sad.

@thethoughtofth1 The Fermor is one of my very favorites. And Three Christs has been on my tbr for years - I believe @mookse is a fan?

Browses through the NYRB catalogue to see what I was unaware of. These in particular shot up my list.

New episode! In this one, @bibliopaul and I indulge our desire to keep talking about our favorite essays! Happy Halloween! mookse.substack.com/p/episode-92-e…

Books I read in recent times that I enjoyed and still thinking about them.

I have loved all of @Mukasonga’s books we have so far in English, and this one sounds tremendous! Check out that blurb. Coming from @archipelagobks.

@benjamin_oc @bibliopaul @Coffee_House_ I think you’ll love this one, Ben!
