  2. Weekend reading: M. Dirda on Thomas Hardy's poems http://bit.ly/4Mfxqq Stefan Beck on Joseph Epstein http://bit.ly/8DDCZ6 -- more to come
  3. @Harkaway Sure. Personally I hope you're going for beast-men a la Island of Dr. Moreau.
  4. Thanks to @misgit @paulpuglisi and @CapitolClio for turkey-brining novice help...
  5. RT @Harkaway on next novel: No ninjas per se. However, the gap in the narrative where there should be ninjas filled with... Not telling :)
  6. First-time turkey-brining happening tonight. Somebody point me at a reliable -straightforward recipe/formula?
  7. Pre-Thanksgiving Day gratitude to every publicist who has scrambled to get us books/images/author contacts in resp. to 11th-hr requests.
  8. Thomas Keller of French Laundry/Per Se talks about repetition, inspiration, and his new book Ad Hoc at Home. http://bit.ly/7O0lHA
  9. Werner Herzog's journals, stranger than fiction tales of making Fitzcarraldo. Spiders, monkeys, Klaus Kinski http://bit.ly/5OukSK
  10. RT @jenny8lee mystery raised by @kimseverson run-in with copy desk: brussels (not Brussels) sprouts. Yet French fries
  11. RT @sarahw: !!! Jury awards $100k for libel to woman who resembled fictional character. http://bit.ly/77eOAv (via @GirlsSentAway @Powells)
  12. @sharonglassman Pies following turkey should be fine, unless a LOT of grease has spattered. You could cover pies w/foil for insurance.
  13. @MaudNewton A neat piece on Ludlum, but I don't think he's ever actually watched The Wire. He seems to think it's another version of 24.
  14. RT @MaudNewton: Robert Ludlum as 'godfather of the paranoid style in American paramilitary entertainment': http://bit.ly/7zFdt2
  15. Nigella Lawson on three nourishing reads http://bit.ly/7LXsWh (and I heartily second each).
  16. The answer is revealed -- what fave childhood book did Gingrich, Chomsky and Hefner all cite? http://bit.ly/5eTKwP

  18. Ward Sutton returns with a new DRAWN TO READ cartoon: "Iced" John Irving's Last Night in Twisted River: http://bit.ly/3f2pFt
  19. @EvelynMcCPeters It was a great question -- glad that I and others could provide some ideas!
  20. RT @nyrbclassics @thefictiondesk : the return of the bookseller-publisher? http://bit.ly/1tqfi0
