Your Best Online Friend for Books and Writing.
Have you ever wished you had a friend you could ask for a book rec, one who actually read the book? Someone who’s honest and a little offbeat, and who could toss out some titles and point you in the direction of a good read, whether you’re looking for a mass-market thriller or a high-brow award winner?
Or, maybe you want to write something yourself and you’re looking for insight, not the “pay me $2,500 and I’ll give you my top 10 keys to publishing a book!” insight, but just friendly, supportive advice, tips, and news gleaned from across the web and a life of experience?
Well, my new friend, you have come to the right place.
Quote of the moment:
“Long gone are the days when the world was divided into manors and huts. In their place we have an era in which the necessities of food, clothing, and shelter are experienced in a thousand gradations. Thus, while once we needed to marry an heiress, or found a railroad in order to change our lot, today an extra fifty dollars a week will allow us to take one more step up the ladder of well-being to a tier where the soups are a little more tasty, the shirts a little more stylish, and the living rooms a little more exposed to natural light.”
— “The Ballad of Timothy Touchett,” from A Table for Two, by Amor Towles.
