The Fireballer
Mark Stevens
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
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.

Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth
James Lovelock

The Dark Half
Stephen King
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
