Interesting! I had no idea what I wanted.

Sounds very interesting. Thanks! It's going on my list.

I've never read any Sinclair Ross. What's it like?

Adrian Markle @amarkle.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I will just never understand the popularity. So perplexing. In addition the what you said, I also think the language is so limp and lifeless.

When I went to a birthday party at an arcade 13, everyone got mad at me because I used our last 25 cents to play Ahead by a Century on the jukebox instead of Offspring's Come out and Play, which was apparently the cool new song everyone else knew about. Okay. I think history is on my side here.

Those sections actually took me a few reads to really start to appreciate, but eventually I've come to think theyre such a valuable element.

Adrian Markle @amarkle.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

And how evocative the language is. Such a wonderful contrast between the often ugliness of the content and the beauty of the writing.

Yup. Loved it. Such a delightful variety of humour styles.

I originally thought RayGun just wasn't very good at break dancing. Then I started the documentary and said, Oh, i wonder if there's more to this. And then I finished the documentary and realized no, she just wasn't very good at break dancing.

Patrick Lane's RED DOG, RED DOG at the start of my third year of university. I think it was the perfect bridge between where I was coming from and where I was going.

Yet another cancelled Great Western Railway train. I can't remember the last GWR journey i had that wasn't cancelled, delayed, or overfull to the point of people sitting in the aisles. I genuinely think that such pathetic mismanagement of a public utility/service should result in jail time.

Watched The End of Oak Street tonight and my toxic trait is that I 100% think I could knock out a t-rex with a sledgehammer. I just think I could.

Watched the eclipse at Tregew food barn. Sunshine, cider, butter pander, and lifechanging eye injuries.

My wife was waiting for me in the pub after work. Opposite her was an older couple who both ate fish and chips. They finished, the wife left, and one of the man's mates arrived. They chatted a bit and then ordered two fish and chips. The guy caught my wife's eye and just winked. Incredible.

Due to a cancellation at this year's Rock Oyster Festival I was invited to sit down for an impromptu chat on Cornwall, class, and literature. Not a bad day.

Saw Event Horizon in the cinema last night. Such a weird and cool film. Great cast. A lot of fun. Terrible music.

Okay Canada, I've kept quiet for years because my favourite bookshop site was very... French. But in 2026 booksellers.ca finally added the English-language indie stores too, so now I can yell at ALL of you: stop giving Amazon your book money. 🧵

I've been enjoying this thread! Thought I'd say so here as I've been re-reading Johnson lately myself. Incomparable really.

Adrian Markle @amarkle.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Loved this one. The conflicts are so brilliantly handled.

Adrian Markle @amarkle.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

I agree. I didn't think this lived up to the reputation.

Indian Horse is such an impacting and surprising book. Incredible. I'm very grateful I got to write about it a little for @electricliterature.com.

Because everyone loves Shawn Hatosy on the Pitt, I'm imagining a few people will be inspired check out Southland, a criminally (get it) underrated TV show.

HALF MAN - okay, sure, but the other half must also be another, much older man. This guy's home room had to get him a special chair with lumbar support. He remembers the Boer War. He calls America and Canada "the colonies."

ie. "We're actually very bad at teaching here and have no ability or drive to improve." I can't believe this guy would tell on himself that way. What a laughable position. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/review-...

Obviously a disappointing result. No one likes to see the bad guys win. But I'm so impressed by #teamcanada for the game they played. It was such an entertaining and exciting and edge-of-your seat game. Loved it for every second but the last.

Adrian Markle @amarkle.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Regardless of the outcome of the game, #teamcanada women's hockey are always such an incredible source of national pride. But obviously I hope they win.

One of my students who is central to the her year's social structure is Swiss and obviously I'm Canadian. We've been making all the other students choose sides in advance of this weekend's #hockey game between #canada and #Switzerland.

Adrian Markle @amarkle.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

That goalie interference call was laughable but doesn't change the fact that Canada was never in that game at all. Disappointing result, but there's more hockey to come.
