klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Just. I understood enough to grasp how tensors mattered for Einstein (and physicists since), but not enough to want to mention them to anyone else since I don't understand enough to try to explain (unless I wanted to send this article to them). 000
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Good afternoon! My current reading: Nonfiction: Destination Casablanca by Meredith Hind let Fiction: Enter the Nightmare by Jayne Castle 021
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Thank you for writing this. I have a couple of friends who started on GLP-1s this year, and have shared your column in our friend group chat. 000
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I'd be happy to find myself on this flight with you - excellent idea! 010
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 12/07/2026He was shown at the England - Norway World Cup match last night, so the timing was not in his favor to make it to Wimbledon today as well. 000
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 12/07/2026And the Oscar won for the film about the voyage is there, too. Seeing that was an unexpected bonus, because when else would I get a chance to see one? 020
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I'm going to be reading The Monk by Tim Sullivan as soon as I get to the library today... 120
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I was never told about Marie Tharp when plate tectonics were covered in school, so I'm glad to learn about her now. And you're right: the extract is beautifully written. 000
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 10/06/2026They're the lacy cloths draped on the back of armchairs to protect the upholstery from the oil men used on their hair in the early 1900s. It was easier to remove the antimacassar to wash or replace instead of having the chair damaged. Macassar's was a popular brand of the oil, hence anti-. 111
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 10/05/2026They'll appreciate you making the effort. Plus, you'll be in Paris! Enjoy it 🙂 010
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 29/04/2026I've taken a picture of that same shelf! Hope you found something good to read. 020
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I trust that chocolate croissants are acceptable in place of cinnamon rolls? This is important since I have a fine specimen waiting for me tomorrow morning... 020
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Fascinating! I love the sea monster lurking underneath. And the illustration of "antipodes" is an unexpected bonus! 110
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Pacific by Simon Winchester. Nonfiction, about the ocean, opening with his admission of grappling with such a broad subject. He explains how he found a solution that generated the structure of the book, and I'm interested to see what I think as I'm just starting Chapter One. 141
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Kudos for avoiding the "confusing numbering of Popes Benedict" - helpful and humorous at once! 020
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 07/04/2026And Rs need to know that they're being watched and judged on what they're doing too. 010
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 05/04/2026I was glad to see the mention of Peter Robinson, and would add Donna Leon's series in Venice to the international list. 000
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I like mine in cake. Or cookies. And very occasionally in quiche, but that's about it. 011
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Former bookseller chiming in to say that the "sticky-outy thing" can also be called a shelf-talker 😉 110
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Starting The Gables of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald by John U. Bacon. I usually prefer maritime history in the Age of Sail, but find this more modern shipwreck intriguing. 110
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 05/03/2026I learned to do the NYT crossword puzzle - in pen - from a grandparent who left school at age 14 to work because the family needed the money far more. So I definitely agree with you. 120
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Thank you so much for the refreshing pleasure of these vignettes! They're always wonderful to read, but are especially helpful this week with the world full of darker stories that need light like this to balance them out. 1140
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Ooh, fantastic! Thanks for the details, complete with illustration! There's likely to be a bakery stop in my near future, though I'll have to "make do" with a cupcake 🧁 020
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 25/02/2026I'm on the wrong side of the world: I haven't encountered lamingtons before (that I know of). Can you provide details? You'll have more fun with them than looking them up online. 130
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Not only is he good, but this creates hope that there will be less of the McEnbros as a result... 000
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Darling! And I have family with Norwegian connections who are going to enjoy it also 🇳🇴 000
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 25/01/2026Novel: Deadly Trade by Sara Driscoll (the Hawaii setting is nice escapism from this storm). Nonfiction: The Highest Law in the Land: How the Unchecked Power of Sheriffs Threatens Democracy by Jessica Pishko 020
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I'm in the US, and have added several of these books to my list to read - thanks for providing all this info! 010
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 18/01/202654 Miles by Leonard Pitts is on my list, but I haven't read it yet. 020
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Just starting A Case of Mice and Murder by Sally Smith. A dead Lord Chief Justice in 1901 London, by an author I've not read before. 120
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 07/01/2026This reminds me of watching the Olympic Opening Ceremony in Beijing, when Bob Costas pointed out that China's population means that "if you're one in a million, there are ten thousand more just like you" (paraphrased from memory). 031
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Welcome back! I hope you had a good time over the holidays. 1140
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 31/12/2025This is a wonderful appreciation of an actor who first came to notice in my family for his characters (including Fargo North, Decoder) on the Electric Company. 150
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 31/12/2025What a great winter day! And it's fun to see Bunsen technically on the water - you've found a way for him to enjoy the lake! 😉 010
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Robert Craig's has a PI series set in LA that is very good, and enjoyed by this Connelly fan. 030
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 21/11/2025My book arrived today! (I'm in the southern US.) It's delightful; I laughed at the last line of the second moment 😄 I'm going to take my time to savor the vignettes and not rush through them all at once. 120
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Erik Larson often has fascinating tidbits in the (end)notes of his books. I appreciate the extra details any time and author chooses to provide them. 110
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Thank you for the warning! Seattle blowout of Arizona it is. 000
klreader1.bsky.social @klreader1.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Congratulations! 💐 I've ordered my copy 🙂 010
