today's bookstore reading

tired: previewing the season wired: previewing what we WON’T talk about this season It’s the 2026 banned topics, plus a delightful conversation with @amgittlitz about METROPOLITANS, a book so uniquely targeted at us and our audience it’s almost hard to believe https://t.co/eM5TBTSWLv

>@gittlitz.bsky.social, the author of a new book, "Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People’s Team," argues that the Mets need to connect with a "political moment" in NYC to succeed.

NYC! I'm hosting A.M. Gittlitz (@gittlitz.bsky.social) at POWERHOUSE Arena in Brooklyn to celebrate the launch of his new book, METROPOLITANS, his groundbreaking "people's history" of the New York Mets. It's on April 1st (for real), and tickets will go fast: powerhousearena.com/events/book-...

You already know the 1969 Mets were Amazin’, but you probably have no idea HOW Amazin’ they really were. You will after reading A.M. Gittlitz on “Mets Fans for Peace” via Faith and Fear in Flushing. #LGM www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2025/08/18/t...

Anyways here’s something better: Serbian War Crimes Mr Met

"The amusements that overtake a man are an exact measure of his mediocrity. Baseball or automatic writing, what does it matter? The idea of success, when it is not tied up with the most simplistic desires, is inseparable from a complete overthrow at the global level." Debord & Wolman, 1955
