I will spend an hour at Chamblin’s any Friday I can bc you’ll always hit an unshelved seam.

I am a huge sucker for mid century designs, they didn’t even need to include Kurt Vonnegut’s drawing of a butthole, really puts it over the top.

My American Lit post-1865 survey course wrapped tonite with Saunders' story "CivilWarLand in Bad Decline." Haven't put it on our list for a few semesters but wanted to see what the kids thought of it.
