Oh, and @Gabino_Iglesias deserves a shout-out, too, for his contributions to this terrific list. Are y'all as psyched to read his forthcoming THE DEVIL TAKES YOU HOME as I am?

My #FridayReads is @writerstevens' THE FIREBALLER—a stunning, stirring novel of regret and redemption that celebrates the joys of baseball, and the purity of sport, without shying away from the tolls that talent and obsession can exact. Highly recommended. https://t.co/TQCUOnV2TV

Leave the World Behind

Rumaan Alam
Chris HolmChris Holm

There's something vertiginous about reading a novel in one sitting, as if the real world and the fictive have momentarily swapped places. That goes double if the book in question is as vivid and hallucinatory as @Rumaan's LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND.

James Lovelock was a genius, a radical, a visionary—and one of the most influential independent scientists in modern history. His work forever changed the way I view the world. May Gaia welcome him home. https://t.co/5ZCuYRbIl9

April 26, 1991, @StephenKing spoke at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse, New York. Thirteen-year-old-me was there. He signed my tattered mass-market copy of THE DARK HALF. It'd come out not long before, so I hadn't yet read it to pieces. THANK YOU, @StephenKing, FOR EVERYTHING. https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/1517307551540514816
