  1. Murakami Bingo = genius. Now I want Cormac Bingo, 50 Shades of Grey Bingo, Shteyngart Bingo ... nyti.ms/KA7ClS
  2. 'The prospect of traveling Greyhound." John Kennedy Toole letter to be auctioned at Sotheby's. tinyurl.com/6um5wqt
  3. Is there a name for this type of sculpture so I can dislike it with more precision? twitter.com/DwightGarner/s…
  4. Donn Pearce, the author of "Cool Hand Luke," on "To Tell the Truth": tinyurl.com/7ryc8kb
  5. Barack Obama, Toni Morrison. tinyurl.com/7bennw8
  6. Stageside tix for @amylavere at Joe's Pub on 7/19: $14. Bargain of the year. "Killing Him" & "Pointless Drinking" = tip of iceberg.
  7. RT @stevesilberman: Hey kids, what's the best URL shortener for Twitter now that @bitly's turned itself into I don't know what?
  8. Pine mouth. I know someone who gets it ... and is borderline suicidal when she does. is.gd/Zisd9S
  9. Where is the blues song that begins, 'My old fat pants / They my skinny pants now" ? (He asks, packing hastily for wknd.)
  10. The timbre of Robert Reich's voice - he's currently on WNYC - sounds a lot like Mitt Romney's. They're voice twins.
  11. Would it be wrong to review Molly Ringwald's forthcoming novel and Andrew McCarthy's forthcoming memoir as a package?
  12. @KKuitenbrouwer Yes - thanks. I still wonder where the book is.
  13. Still thinking about Richard Brautigan. Odd there's no one-volume collected poetry. Some of his best work is very hard to find.
  14. @benschwartzy @thehighsign Link to Fussell obit: nyti.ms/KfnGIg
  15. RIP the great and ornery Paul Fussell. The war books are superb. "Class" I thought even better. The essay collections = master classes.
  16. I love Joe Henry, and I love Sam Stephenson, so for me this is bliss bit.ly/LpZrZ8
