Book Club: Tender is the Night

“Actually that’s my secret — I can’t even talk about you to anybody because I don’t want any more people to know how wonderful you are.” Tender is the Night a forever favorite by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?

I can't wait for Roz Chast's new book. She and Maira Kalman speak directly to my soul.

It's not my favorite book, but it might be my favorite cover. 

Lifted from Rachel, our store manager's, new and quite charming blog.

Summer Reading and Marble Halls of Moonshine

Last night, I started rereading one of my totems of childhood, the Anne of Green Gables collection. I've missed you, Prince Edward Island (or, PEI as we local armchair travelers - here's looking at you, Dwight and Jeanne - call it).

"I had made up my mind that if you didn't come for me tonight I'd go down the track to that big wild cherry tree at the bend, and climb up into it to stay all night. I wouldn't be a bit afraid, and it would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree all white with bloom in the moonshine, don't you think? You could imagine you were dwelling in marble halls, couldn't you? And I was quite sure you would come for me in the morning, if you didn't tonight." -Anne of Green Gables

Edward Gorey

My friend Tami introduced me to Edward Gorey when I slept over her house when we were about 13 years old. We stayed up late laughing uproariously at The Epileptic Bicycle. (What??) So now, here I am, quite a number of years later (ahem) and so very pleased to be selling his work. What comes around goes around, right Tam?

Perfect follow up to Please Kill Me, a miss your subway stop kind of book Rony turned me on to. Sorry Williamsburg, but you've got nothing on downtown in the 70s.
