Let It Bang: A Young Black Man's Reluctant Odyssey Into Guns
Rj YoungI much enjoyed @RJ_Young on @stillreadbooks about his smart, probing book "Let It Bang: A Young Black Man’s Reluctant Odyssey into Guns." He's also writing book about the Tulsa Race Massacre, but he's in midst of it so I won't stress him about it. Listen! https://t.co/SGtxjhzTYJ

Age of Cage: Four Decades of Hollywood Through One Singular Career
Keith PhippsThe new @kphipps3000 book AGE OF CAGE is out today, and it's terrific. It's about Nicolas Cage's career, but it's about more than that: It's essentially about the last 35 years of movies, how they've changed, how we have. I absolutely devoured this thing. https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250773043/ageofcage

Nobody's Fool
Richard RussoThis week's update: Richard Russo's blurb! Richard Russo is Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist of EMPIRE FALLS and NOBODY'S FOOL. He is, in my opinion, one of the best writers alive. I had no idea he was reading HOW LUCKY. I don't even know who gave it to him. But he loved it. (2/x)
