Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis

If anyone here has a copy of Everyday Drinking on your bookshelf, I’m looking for Kingsley Amis’s Old Fashioned recipe. I have the book, but I can’t access it right now. Thanks.

Joseph Anton: A Memoir
Salman Rushdie
So glad to hear Salman Rushdie is off the ventilator. He is a great writer. Read Joseph Anton, as I’ve said on here before, to understand what living under threat was like for him. It’s a great memoir. No one should have to live that defensively just because they wrote a novel.

A Gentleman in Moscow
Amor Towles
I was trying really hard not to finish A Gentleman In Moscow. Because I loved it so much, I didn't want it to end. I have read 6 books since starting it. Alas, I read the final 200 pages in the last 24 hours. Magic. @amortowles, you're an artist of high order, sir. Now to ROC.

The Beatles in India: Deluxe Limited Edition
Paul Saltzman
Want a wonderful palette cleanser? Watch the documentary Meeting The Beatles In India. It’s not really about The Beatles but rather about the inner and outer journey the filmmaker, Paul Saltzman, went on w them in the 60s. And also, meditation. Beautiful stuff.

Paris in the Present Tense
Mark Helprin
Certain writers fall out of favor for certain reasons, often having little to do with the work itself. In that vein, let me recommend Mark Helprin, maybe the most beautiful American prose stylist of his age. Paris In The Present Tense is a glorious novel. Writers: read this book.

Invisible Man
Ralph Ellison
Too hard to say. Some that come to mind: Hemingway's books. Murakami's books. Ellison's Invisible Man. Mamet's essay books from before, say, 2001. Paul Auster's first 12 books or so. Salinger, of course. Flannery O'Connor's short stories. This list would be different tomorrow. https://twitter.com/Mobidi/status/1473332842654539778
