Why am I getting this book ad (and ones like it) on my Kindle. Have I changed careers without knowing it?

This is a truly wonderful collection of stories, poems, and essays that deal with hotter people understand God. What a diverse, fascinating collection!

Very happy to find Zayd Ayers-Dohrn's Dangerous, Dirty, Violent & Young: My Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground longlisted for the Nat'l Book Award for Nonfiction. Such a good read. I interviewed Zayd: www.seattlechannel.org/videos?video.... @seattlechannel.seattle.gov @wwnorton.com

Book Lust with Nancy Pearl: Zayd Ayers Dohrn

Book Lust's Nancy Pearl interviews Zayd Ayers Dohrn about his new memoir, "Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young." The title comes from a lyric in Jefferson Airplane’s 1969 song “We Can Be Together”.

I agree - so many wonderful books are out of print -

We made it, Ilkley to Bowness, the Dales Way, despite sun showers, rain showers, torrents of rain & 22 mile per hour winds, spraining my wrist by slipping on mud, twice, missing way markers, bushwhacking, and realizing that I will die happy if I never walk on another moor, we had a great trip.

My first text of the day is somewhat mysterious. I will use our last hike in the Yorkshires (Bournemouth to Bowness-on-Windermere) to think about it: How do you feel about Katherine Anne Porter?

Hated to give up on today’s walk from Ribblesdale to Dent in the Yorkshire Dales but felt it was probably for the best: torrential rain & 22 mph winds & many more boggy & muddy moors.

Reading lots of book catalogs, I see that “slow-burn” is the descriptor du jour and I can only conclude I am living a slow-burn life

Stepping stones with Bolton Priory nearby. We took the bridge. 😀

I love aqueducts - here’s a late 19th century one near Bolton Priory in Yorkshire, as seen from the Dales Way path.

Loved these pictures by Yorkshire artist Linda Mellin, many on display in the Cavendish Pavilion near Bolton Priory. This one would be a terrific 1,000+ jigsaw puzzle.

Ever the contrarian, I had a ploughman’s lunch for dinner at the Wheatley Arms in Ben Rydding, Yorkshire

Walked past Ealing Studios - it’s where the great British comedies of the 1940s and 1950s were made, like Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Ladykillers we’re made

finished packing for our flight tonight to London and upcoming Dales Way walk - pray for no rain, please

Taped the next two Book Lust interviews today and can’t wait for you to see them: Ilan Stavans about editing this terrific anthology: A Nation Wrestles with God and Deb Olin Unferth about her amazing novel Earth 7. I feel so fortunate to be able to do these Book Lust interviews

It's in the air. Temperatures drop at night, fewer birds tweet during the day, an errant leaf falls from a tree. Phillis McGinley wrote light verse, mainly, but won a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1961, much to the disdain of the era's serious bards. Here it is—in all its glory.

As someone who’s been w/out a plot since 2017, this convo from Kate Fenton’s Vanity and Vexation made me laugh: “Are you writing now?” “Course,” he snapped with the reflexive speed of an author chronically short of a plot.

It's "Lake Ontario" not Lake America. It's "Gulf of Mexico" not Gulf of America. It's "convicted felon" not president.

A lot of truth in this new cartoon from Nova Scotia's Bruce MacKinnon. BTW, King Dumbass is claiming (as usual, with no evidence) that Dolly Parton was a "huge fan" of him. Yeah, right.

I totally identify with this quote that's usually attributed to Yeats, but may actually be from that incredibly prolific writer, Anonymous "Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy."

Ron Charles is, quite simply, the best book reviewer writing these days (it's a crime that @washingtonpost.com cancelled their book coverage). Here's a recent review of Ron's: as always it's thoughtful, intuitive, fearless,& beautifully written. roncharles.substack.com/p/the-unbear...
