I’ve been re-reading “Lenin’s Tomb” by Remnick, which always inspires me, and got an advance copy of “Caste” by
@Isabelwilkerson, which is dazzling. And one of my editors recommended “Lab Girl,” by@HopeJahren as a study in how to do thematic memoir. Enjoying it. - Show replies

It’s an old one, but re-reading Jim Sheeler’s Obit reminds me that simple writing is beautiful writing.

Rereading Anne Fadiman’s The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down after many years. It’s really well done.

That book has never left the bookshelf closest to my bed in all the years since it came out. So good.

The
@susanorlean chapter in#TheNewNewJournalism by Robert S. Boynton -
this prompted me to re-read it for the first time in years and you’re right, it’s so energising. Susan is a genius.
