@LibrarylinM I’m reading “Modernism” by Peter Gay, one of Freud’s biographers and finding it wonderful. It’s a cultural history of modernity Best book I’ve read about explaining Americans was “Albion’s Seed” by David Hacket Fischer. #book #Saturday #WritingCommunity #BookRecommendations

Thank you, Ryan! Here are a few covers of those poetry books. My favorite poet is Elizabeth Bishop, a devoted student of the great Robert Lowell, who was famously bipolar, and once thought he was Homer. Ironically, at his best, he could write just as well. #poetrytwitter #Sunday https://t.co/SAO2gMoOg4 https://t.co/7b1NVVGnEc

The Netanyahus by Joshua Cohen. Which is pretty good Finishing Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. Murderously challenging read but one of the great books #FridayVibes #BookRecommendations https://t.co/vGVFfnREKb

funniest books ever: Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children (and you get a history of the Indian subcontinent thrown in) and Joyce Cary's "The Horse's Mouth" -- about ur-rebel, nonconforming artist named Gully Jimson #BookRecommendations #thursdayvibes #jeudi #giovedi #jueves https://t.co/jt0OguI8AG https://t.co/WswHpHV44V

Terry Real's book "I Don't Want to Talk About It" : indispensable book about how men are socialized into denying their feelings, and the consequences for both themselves and partners. Near the book's end, his candor about his own background is astonishing! #tuesdayvibe #Men https://t.co/9jkCP4AE9h

Hi, Selena Check out "The Copenhagen Trilogy" (3 books in one volume) by Tove Ditlevsen. A very compelling read. Or another memoir series, by Elana Ferrante about growing up in Naples. The first volume in the series is called "My Brilliant Friend". #BookRecommendations #Wednesday https://t.co/PqQd64RmRY

Denise Jacob, sister of Simone Veil joined the Resistance in Lyon in 1943 at the age of 19. She was arrested, tortured and deported to Ravensbruck. She survived and testified throughout her life. "Miarka" by Antoine De Meaux tells her little-known story #tuesday #mardi #History https://t.co/ezmjnva1ki

Houyhnhnms, a ace of intelligent, rational horses by Anglo-Irish author Jonathan Swift in the satirical novel Gulliver's Travels. The Houyhnhnms are contrasted with the Yahoos, members of a brutish humanoid race that Houyhnhnms tamed into submission. Think Dems and GOP. #Dems https://t.co/7HPWhDjrMd

Try Michael Ondaatje's book Warlight. He's a great Canadian poet turned novelist and writes all his books longhand, so they're never oppressively long. He wrote "The English Patient", made into a movie. Sumptuous prose #poetrycommunity #WritingCommnunity #book #Wednesday https://t.co/wVgmtNYoD6 https://t.co/nLlIJhHlBA
