CitizenNathan goes to the internet..for you
Welcome to Citizen Nathan Goes to the Internet . Here is a little preview of my book recs
Books
Commencement. J. Courtney Sullivan has a new book out, but her first book is like taking a Watchmen-like nostalgia pill for anybody who went to one of the Five Colleges in western MA during the aughts. I also took a few classes at Smith College, so I pretty much went there, the 5 college system is excellent! There is a deep longing for the before times, books about college, and the early twenties. Everything seems so important, but it is all so trivial. Take me back.
Taffy Brodessner-Akner, author of the award-winning Fleishman is in Trouble just finished her 2nd book*! It looks good! I also got to hear her talk about it from a virtual book talk. It turns out virtual book talks are the best kind of book talks. No crazies are asking long-winded never-ending statements during Q&A!
*I promise not to source my tweets again, or at least for a while.
Speaking of Taffy... on the topic of how do you choose what to read. Taffy tweeted about Barcelona Days, and I purchased it, and listened to it, and loved it. I will finish this letter on the power of discovery that happens at the bookstore. Read this thread by the bookseller, Josh Cook.
