Let’s kick off with a whole bunch of articles and posts about books and bookstores! (then back to the other craziness for which I’m renowned)
- Do today’s book editors suck? Pretty much, yeah.
- Is “the book” in crisis? I just re-re-re-read a 3,000-year-old poem of 15,000+ lines, so I’m not the best person to consult on this.
- Is “the bookstore” in crisis? Not Politics & Prose, apparently.
- Nor Shakespeare & Co. in Paris, the bookstore that thinks it’s a hotel. (I’m very happy that I’ve been there, although I haven’t stayed overnight.)

Henry Rollins goes bananas on hipsters. The moment he flips out is a-w-e-s-o-m-e.
