Looked at another best of the year list, had a few more “Oh, I have that” moments, and am now reading Chilean Poet by Alejandro Zambra, translated by Megan McDowell. https://t.co/tY90EbjIRS

Currently reading The Benson Murder Case by S.S. Van Dine from @PenzlerPub. Read in the intro by Ragnar Jónasson that there is a 1930 film adaptation of this starring William Powell as Philo Vance. Might go looking around for that later too. #SaturdayMystery https://t.co/R4kwrAfK6I
