Life's Work: A Memoir

David Milch
Elizabeth PicciutoElizabeth Picciuto

Love to see this interview with David Milch. His wife says of his Alzheimer’s, “It’s a horrible diagnosis and it ain’t fun…But life goes on. You don’t have to hide people away. They don’t have to disappear.” He has written a memoir. https://t.co/WheV54YiNG

Mad Honey: A GMA Book Club Pick

Jodi Picoult

Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finley Boylan. The kind of book you feel bad not being into because it’s well meant, but it had flat characters and a didactic tone.

I’m calling for a total and complete shutdown of comparing writers to Jane Austen until we figure out what is going on. https://t.co/33BJ4WRx4T

@burtlikko @amurali284 @dh4onethingonly William James has a similar criticism (among others) of Pascal’s wager in The Will to Believe.

All the Light We Cannot See

Anthony Doerr

Thread of books I read in 2023! First was All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Best new book I’ve read in a couple of years. Morally serious (the good way, not the didactic way) and sensorally evocative. Big recommend.

I strongly recommend reading the memoir Open, by Andre Agassi, who described his resentment of his father who raised him this way. https://t.co/70AJfZdQGq

I couldn't think more highly of @emily_ladau *and* she's a fellow Long Islander. I can't wait to read her book #DemtstifyingDisability. https://t.co/jOG7ShN4rS

The Stepford Wives

Ira Levin
Elizabeth PicciutoElizabeth Picciuto

Thank you to Ira Levin for not having a single redeemable man character in THE STEPFORD WIVES, not one guy who sees what is happening and helps out the ladies. Unusual to be *that* unflinching, especially as a dude writing.

@kelleher_ My audiobook goddess for Jane Austen books specifically is Juliet Stevenson. A hair less on Pride and Prejudice than the others, but she’s my gold standard.
