Superman: The Atomic Age Sundays Volume 3 (1956-1959)
Alvin Schwartz
“So Vin Sullivan, wanted a character who’d sell like Superman. Bob being Bob he promises him one by Monday. On Saturday, he brings me this sketch and he has a name, BirdMan. I say ‘Bob, Those are bat wings. And it’s a dame. And it’s nude.’ The rest is history.” -Bill Finger https://t.co/yksuyR5Ujj

M. R. James
Anyone got any recommendations for podcasts in the vein of A Ghost Story for Christmas? Looking for some classics with a decent audio/production quality. Maybe a little Mr MR James.

The Lorax
Dr Seuss
We’ve been watching a lot of Illumination films lately, especially the Dr Seuss stuff. I really dislike them. They kind of feel like they don’t care about being good or funny or consistent because they’re “just” for kids. The Lorax in particular is a mess.

The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds
Michael Lewis
@RobynVinter The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis is a personal favourite. Any Jon Ronson too, obvs. And it’s not quite narrative but I Am The Law by @molcher is very relevant right now and really blew me away .

The Witch-Cult in Western Europe: A Study in Anthropology
Murray Margaret Alice
Doing some research for something I’m writing and saw that Wheatley’s “The Devil and All His Works” and Murray’s “The Witch Cult in Western Europe” both use Goya’s “Witches Sabbat” on the cover. Anyway, the thing I wanted to find out was what snooker balls are made of https://t.co/WJq1GRKj92
