Gotta put Benetti right up there...
FYI Former Cards fan who followed Mike Shildt to the Padres—where the George Kissell blueprint continues to thrive. Exciting brand of baseball, as evidenced by this weekend's series in Pittsburgh. Let's go Friars!
Perfect! Thanks for the insight. 🙏🏻
Borrowed Colors of the Dark from Libby—thinking it might be a great beach read for next week. Thoughts?
When I "confronted" ChatGPT for the facial differences?
🤦🏼♀️
Creating a thumbnail for Friday's Unhustled newsletter.
Pretty good illustration of a guy working with AI bot to select a "stretch" read.
Me: Let's make a female version of the human.
ChatGPT:
Started with a free Kindle version. Nearly quit.
Switched translations. Brought in ChatGPT.
Finished Monte Cristo 1,200 pages later with a lot of feelings and some light trauma.

Would you ever read a 1,200-page book with ChatGPT?
🟦 I already do
🟩 I would now
🟨 Only if it helps me survive Russian lit
🟥 Nope, still scared
👀
If you’ve ever wanted to finish a classic, rage-quit halfway, or yell “OH NO HE DIDN’T” at a 1,200-page French revenge saga…
I made this for you.
Reading with AI — out soon. 👇
#BookSky
Oy.......
Me: “I’ll read a classic.”
Monte Cristo: 1,200 pages, 80 characters, 4 fake deaths, and a revenge plot with a spreadsheet.
Also me: “Hey ChatGPT, who the hell is Benedetto again?”

You get to send one book villain to therapy instead of jail.
Who’s getting a second chance—and why?
(Monte Cristo not eligible, he’d just manipulate the therapist.)

Reading advice that starts with “Here’s the best way to…”
Instant nope.
There’s no “right” way to read. Just your way.

Reading The Count of Monte Cristo made me realize:
Danglars is the guy who’d hoard canned goods in a zombie apocalypse… and still try to sell them. #BookSky
The book villain I’d most like to slap? Oh, we’re making a list. #Booksky
What’s a book you were hyped to read… only to go, “This? This is it?” #BookSky
The Fish That Ate the Whale is basically Succession, but with bananas. Samuel Zemurray did not play. #BookSky
The Count of Monte Cristo.
March Madness heartbreak.
Stories that don’t end cleanly.
This week’s Unhustled is about what we gain from the endings that hurt.

The Count of Monte Cristo update: I knew vengeance was coming, but I wasn’t ready. Edmond is out here serving 5-star revenge meals, and I’m eating them up. #BookSky
Your last five-star read vs. your last DNF. Let’s hear it. #booksky
Indeed.
If you think about it lemme know how it goes! ❤️
My Razorbacks are still dancing in #MarchMadness
If we beat Texas Tech tonight, it’s Elite 8 time.
Reading? Barely. Between March Madness and knowing The Count of Monte Cristo is gonna wreck me…I’m dragging my feet with 90 mins left.
Ever delay a book because the ending scares you?
#BookSky
It’s a wonderful conversation. No matter how well you think you know your friend — even lifelong friends. ❤️
Same! I’ve studied that day and its aftermath since I was a kid. Got through maybe a chapter of the book and was like “Nope. Not happening.”
Yeah. I’ve had similar experiences. In fact, I’ve told BFFs — hey. I just can’t do this book. But I’d love to grab a coffee so you can tell me about how it impacted you. Spoilers permitted. Wonderful conversations.
Do you have a reading nemesis? A book you keep trying and failing to finish? #booksky
