@CHRISF0GLE I might not still know. Networking? How “likeable” you are? How “normal” and “professional” you can present yourself? Organizational involvement? Whatever it is it’s clearly not individual publications. In this era of 10,000 lit journals, publication has been devalued, sadly.

Me watching my peers with 0 publications get interviews and academic job offers while I submitted 150 apps and got nothing

@asdkfjasdlfjd If that’s Five Guys it’s the saddest Five Guys I’ve ever seen.
English
Five Guys makes the best burger. You can't debate me on this

Some great epics are worth reading alongside beautiful illustrations. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Dante's Divine Comedy, and John Milton's Paradise Lost are definitely worth it. Doré, especially, for the Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost.

@plzcallmechrist @luke_veil You have no idea what you’re talking about.
English
@plzcallmechrist Not even remotely true. I read every day and go out of my way to only have hardcovers.

many people are saying this,

@petebiblio @AdamsOrArdor @pourfairelevide Nobody outside of the lit community can name more than maybe 20 authors, tops

@BIMCAEIcepick @Abstudiobrand Those ten rules work well for writing, too, and better than other “writing rules” I’ve seen.

It’s impressive how cleverly Apple "borrows" ideas. 😅

@OneFeIISwoop Love to see someone on here representing with the first edition!
English
my first edition, a gift from tyler ❤️ so excited for us all to have a #TunnelSummer and celebrate this St. Louis icon

@RobertAllenPoet Yes! I haven’t read Vonnegut since I was young and I’m just now reading this beyond fantastic Library of America edition and I’m loving it. People are sleeping on him, thinking he’s too easy or just for the young.
English
When I was about 12, I was reading normal kid classic stuff, Poe, Stevenson, abridged Melville, etc.
Around that time a friend of my mom's gave me a box full of Kurt Vonnegut books. He died 19 years ago today, and I'm remembering him one of my springboards to more joy in books
English
I’m always reading it like “I could do better,” but then when I send TNY better stuff, they don’t take it. What’s up with that?

It's always disappointing how mediocre most New Yorker fiction is. It's almost always competent but usually feels like it could have used a harsh editor. It's the literary equivalent of Ikea furniture.

@scruffycitytv @pokegrade Clearly you don’t know ball. PSA is the only choice. The market has decided it.
English
@pokegrade 100% agree. They had to have paid him secretly because that BGS offered was way too good.
English
He chose the wrong grading company though. BGS offered an exclusive one of a kind slab built just for this card and he still subbed it to PSA for an ugly red PSA 9.

Brook Trafton, a Toronto retail worker who pulled “The one Ring” Magic card worth more than $2,000,000 at the time was shaking as he took this video before sending it in for grading. Trafton eventually sold the card to Post Malone, a famous rapper and Magic: The Gathering enthusiast, for $2 million. Trafton said he was overwhelmed with joy and emotion when he found the card and that it was a childhood dream come true. He also said he had to keep the card a secret and secure it in a bank until he could verify its authenticity and sell it.

Helen DeWitt is the best living American author and also the best poster who wasn't raised on screens. She's simultaneously better than both James Joyce and Joyce Carol Oates. Buy multiple copies of Your Name Here every day
Helen DeWitt@helendewitt
@BlaiseMarcc I think so! Years ago a reader got me some blackmarket Adderall (had to fly to Boston to collect); made me very, very calm (so maybe I do have ADHD), enabled me to restore 3000 books to order after chaotic sublet, bad for writing but wd probably have let me make W-C happy

@RJ5000 Lerner and Kluge did a full-length book collaboration.
