“I’d always write ‘you were the best I ever had.’ Or something stupid like that.”

Tanqueray by Brandon Stanton and Stephanie Sohnson

November 15, 2022 by Nart 1 Comment

Humans of New York creator Brandon Stanton teams up with intensely human, long time New York resident Stephanie Johnson to tell a story that doesn't fit on a single picture's description on Instagram. Stephanie is something of a tragic figure, although I think she would cringe and resent such a … [Read more]

The Past is Red by Catherynne M. Valente.

November 15, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I did not think I would like the short novel; The Past is Red by Catherynne M. Valente. I felt I would never understand it and was going to stop reading as things felt disjointed, the narrator was bouncing all over, and there was stuff that was very off. The book felt like a translation that was not … [Read more]

Glory Road

Glory Road by Bruce Catton

November 15, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

The first book in this series seemed like a more straight-forward history of the Army of the Potomac, especially its formation and early movements. Perhaps this book takes on a much different tack, or more possibly the history just got a little weirder, because this book is much more in the vein of … [Read more]

The Rise and Fall of Total Football

Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Soccer by David Winner

November 14, 2022 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment
