A Sand County Almanac: And Sketches Here and There
Aldo Leopold
Only if you write it. But I’m rereading Aldo Leopold’s “A Sand County Almanac” tonight, which is wonderfully incongruous considering my situation. https://t.co/0OOYODfvcH

Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City
Matthew Desmond
It is compelling, shocking and depressing in equal parts and a real eye-opener in terms of illuminating the way society treats and profits off the poor. I’d recommend Evicted to friends far and wide, as it is able to summon the deepest emotional response in its readers.

The Cat in the Hat
Dr Seuss
I like your characterization of the book. Another of my Coover favorites is the novella, "A Political Fable" (originally "The Cat in the Hat for President," but Dr. Seuss objected). https://t.co/Z9o2GSpKRd

The End: Is Only the Beginning
S. K. Bain
Thank you, my dear fellow. There is now a fourth Riley story, "The End Is Only A Beginning." Just written. I'll let you know where and when it appears. And yes, I hope that someday I will put together a book of Riley stories in the way of Updike and his Bech books. https://t.co/K8QDBgzFuM

The Burrow: a dramatic monologue
Franz Kafka
“I have completed the construction of my burrow and it seems to be successful. All that can be seen from outside is a big hole; that, however, leads nowhere; if you take a few steps you strike against natural firm rock.” Franz Kafka, “The Burrow.” https://t.co/UQRxbRdAy9

Travels with Lizbeth: Three Years on the Road and on the Streets

White Noise: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
Don Delillo
Don DeLillo, one our premier novelists, whose chef d’oeuvre, “White Noise,” I am currently revisiting. This is the photo from the back cover of the original Viking edition from 1985. My second favorite of his books is “Mao II.” How about you? https://t.co/PSDl09aIt6
