Laziness Does Not Exist

Devon Price

Fittingly enough, given Elon's "extremely hardcore" nonsense, I'm reading Devon Price's LAZINESS DOES NOT EXIST right now. #FridayReads

Winning Fixes Everything: How Baseball's Brightest Minds Created Sports' Biggest Mess

Evan Drellich
Vince KeenanVince Keenan

#FridayReads Evan Drellich's WINNING FIXES EVERYTHING is an engrossing book that is only intensifying my loathing of: a) the Houston Astros and the culture created by its ownership; b) McKinsey; c) the ongoing financialization of all aspects of public life. https://t.co/9VGZ0NKpPU

Out of Sight

Elmore Leonard
Vince KeenanVince Keenan

It's no accident that the best Elmore Leonard adaptation - OUT OF SIGHT (1998) - was directed by Steven Soderbergh, whose films have a loose, hang-out vibe.

Ginger Beer

This is so horrible. I knew Rachel Marshall only by reputation, but Rachel's Ginger Beer is one of Seattle's glories. To read about what she was suffering through since 2020 is crushing. My thoughts are with all who loved her. https://t.co/RMtc1XpBdW via @chsfeed

Your Table Is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D'

Michael Cecchi-Azzolina
Vince KeenanVince Keenan

I'm a sucker for hospitality industry memoirs, so I enjoyed Michael Cecchi-Azzolina's YOUR TABLE IS READY, out in December. Name dropping galore (just what you want in a book about high-end NYC eateries) and tips on landing those good tables. #FridayReads https://t.co/nYavgZB0AN

The Drowning Pool

Ross MacDonald

Distinction nobody asked for: HARPER (1966) is a better movie, but THE DROWNING POOL (1975) is a better adaptation of Ross Macdonald. https://t.co/3b3zyIrpxA

Michael Schulman's OSCAR WARS: A HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD IN GOLD, SWEAT, AND TEARS isn't only apt reading for #AcademyAwards day. It's a bottomless cornucopia of amazing tidbits. Two of my favorites: https://t.co/6ltImUIyMu

Everybody Knows

Jordan Harper
Vince KeenanVince Keenan

Got an early look at a front-runner for best novel of 2023: @jordan_harper's EVERYBODY KNOWS. A big, brilliant, bruiser of a Hollywood crime story, about money, power, secrets, and the compromises we make. I consumed this book in raw, bloody chunks and loved it. #FridayReads https://t.co/om6gS6UIkM
