As Meat Loves Salt
By Maria McCann
Wow! Some daring choices by the author that she pulls off with finesse. The narrator is not only unreliable, but dangerous.
For us Yanks,a little English Civil War history is a must.

Well, when you have an irresistible face, you gotta use it, Stella! Beautiful girls.

We have had people on trails tell us they thought the same thing.

This look means, I want to walk. It will continue until she gets her walk. #dogs

I feel this a lot.

Abilene Kansas. At the Eisenhower Library. Nice to be able to be proud of our country for a little bit.

The Lincoln Highway
By Amor Towles
Beautiful book. Characters so richly developed, I found myself begging- oh please don't hurt these boys. It's a road trip you don't want to end.

Do they just dehydrate Lyndsay when he's not needed then sprinkle the Lyndsay restorer juice when then need a crazed old jargon spouter?

The Long Home
By William Gay
I now want to read everything by Gay. Beautiful prose, complex characters, vivid sense of place. Like Faulkner and McCarthy, you delve deeply into the world.
Weakness - yeah, female characters.

Love these guys!

Is this different from goSuperego, or will my current subscription still work?

Love the Bunny!

I think there are also some sports where there is almost a fetishizing of letting coaches be assholes to you, letting them run everything, as if your submission to that is key to be great.

I think a role model whose approach is “I’m the athlete, and it’s my body, so I’m the boss” is useful.

Thank you! I was actually having to listen to ads!

Purple and white wildflowers bloom in the desert.

Good, cause there are some drives I want to take you on.

Such a good writer. The futility of heroism and fodder for contemplations on religion.

Neither can AI (nor Coral) recognize quality. If it could it would gobble up this essay!

Holy shit. I hate him so much.

I've fallen in love with the Sonoran Desert. #Sonora #desert #saguaro
