A winter's day; a strange traveler; a brave knight; a fatal game. Written by an unknown hand, it's the most elegant and approachable medieval adventure, starring the most charming and human of all Arthur's knights.

I don't have the whole book yet but everything I read from and about CHAIN GANG ALL STARS by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is just electrifying https://t.co/lG39ApR7n8

Reading THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM by Cixin Liu. What a powerhouse of a novel. So moving and compelling.

...it’s a thousand-year-old story about a straight white middle-aged plutocrat. And we’ve heard plenty from them lately. But it’s a story about families too -- the incredibly toxic, screwed-up Pendragons, and the found family of the surviving knights of the Table. Messed-up families are never not relevant!

I got to talk with Kwame Alexander about his new novel THE DOOR OF NO RETURN at the U.S. Book Show. So brilliant and powerful and urgent. People (including me) throw around the phrase "instant classic" but this one is for real. https://t.co/f4Cz3ofg6Y

I finally picked up @ryanqnorth and @AlbertMonteys' graphic novel version of SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE this weekend ... it's so astounding. One of the best adaptations I've ever read -- It feels like the novel is _so_happy_ to become a comic book -- like it couldn't wait to be adapted

There has been much scholarly ink under the bridge since Tuchman wrote this account of Europe at its most wondrous and tormented, but somehow no one since has conjured the mood and the contradictions of that moment with the same vividness — the terrible weather, the decadent feasts, the relentless cruelty, the longing for divine mercy.

Probably everybody who reads Kim Stanley Robinson's THE MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE thinks: whoa. But whoa #whoa
