LOGGING ON

Your friendly independent bookstore breaking into your timeline to tell you to take a couple hours this weekend, put your phone in like, a box, or something & read a book. All of this <waves hand> will be here when you come back.

First we learn that most Americans barely read books last year (lithub.com/in-2025-most...). Now it seems publishers won't be reading them, either.

Exciting news! 👁️

Hey, that’s me!

Who called it Marty Supreme and not One Paddle After Another?

Great thread with a lot of good back reading for you...

I have tried nothing and I am out of ideas

Hey, here’s another book I liked. You might like it too. #BookSky #SundayRecs

James Lee Burke wrote a book that was on submission for 9 years and rejected 111 times, meaning he was unpublished for 13 years. It went on to be nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. This is a crazy fucking business.

Dermot Healy cornering me in the bar at the Farnham Arms Hotel in Cavan: 'You know your problem'—meaning writing, I think!—'too much up here' (pointing to his head) 'and not enough here' (tapping his heart).

Found a bookstore that stocks your novels

Still the best Christmas short story. www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2020/12/the-...

Happy Jacquie Lawson e-card season to all whose elders celebrate!

I kind of can't believe that libraries exist. We get to go get all the books we want. For free.

i know it's last minute but if you are still shopping for gifts for me please please please do not get me a cybertruck

"It was neither possible nor necessary to educate people who never questioned anything." – Joseph Heller

People might say that pre-ordering my book for someone would make for a lousy Christmas present. But! Not only will it gift your loved ones a sizzling piece of neon noir that may well end up chiseled on the tombstone of the American Empire, but it will also reach them about delaying gratification.

support independent media. idk what else to say right now.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

I’m sorry but ‘heritage American’ makes you sound like a tomato

Reminder: if you're in Providence and want to write something -- anything -- about the Brown shooting and its aftermath, we'd love to include it in @thepvdeye.bsky.social's collection of essays running next week. Deadline is Monday morning. Email [email protected] or [email protected]. ❤️

Someday the letters of his name and all the gaudy fake gold trimmings will fall from the buildings of Washington, D.C., like Saddam Hussein's statue toppling in Iraq.

just an fyi for portland ppl, this ursula exhibition is going on until february, it's free, and has a ton of her maps. plan for spending over an hour if you really want to take it all in www.oregoncontemporary.org/a-larger-rea...

Rick Nicita, CAA agent, on signing David Lynch in 1981: "The first time I met David, he came into my office wearing a string around his neck with a pen dangling from it. I said, ‘What’s that?’ and he said, ‘It’s a pen to take notes.’ I asked, ‘Do you take notes often?’ He said, ‘No, never.’"

WE'RE CUTTING THINGS BY 600 PERCENT. I mean, come on.

Such a simple, clear question.

What a heartbreak of a read.

New this morning: Here's my @thepvdeye.bsky.social column about this weekend's nightmare at Brown.

Yeats was such an optimist

I tried to write about a crazy year in the world of books and reading. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/16/a...

Santa's not the only one making a list and checking it twice this year.

This is how you hasten the end of a culturally literate society, and I promise you won't like what replaces it. Read books. Think critically. Make beautiful things for no reason other than they're beautiful. Celebrate beauty over efficiency and productivity.

This entire weekend

One of the photos of the year. Jackson Doolan, a lifeguard at Tamarama beach, Sydney, runs barefoot TOWARDS the gunfire at Bondi Beach, carrying medical equipment. Just one of many extraordinary acts of heroism yesterday (Dec 14). The photo was captured by local resident, Alexandra Ching.

just an unrelentingly bleak weekend

This is a beautiful tribute and worth a read if you love Alaska adventure and history.

Watching the Brown University shooting news and seeing that two Brown students also survived earlier school shootings is a damned clear indictment of this country. We're failing our children. We're failing ourselves.

A survivor of the Parkland high school massacre being interviewed about surviving the Brown University shooting is a damning indictment of this country.
