Book Favorite

"I go back to “Dubliners,” every few years to re-experience Joyce’s gorgeous use of the English language. These stories were one of the first things I read that made me understand the power of words (and punctuation)!"

"If Khruangbin isn’t on your radar yet, this is a good introduction I think. One of my favorite discoveries in the past few years. Leon Bridges is the icing on a cake that was already really damn good."

Book Favorite

"A delicious novel told from both perspectives of a marriage and all its nooks and crannies we tend to keep to ourselves. The book spans 24 years and the reader is along for this layered roller coaster ride."

Book Favorite

"Published in 1942, this marvellously mordant account of the first years of World War II, less known than the wonderful Decline and Fall and A Handful of Dust, is perhaps Waugh's most flawless comic novel. Every word tells."
