Better than the NY Times! I have one for you -- only 'cause I have a problem with books v. movies -- Motherless Brooklyn.

Yes! I haven’t read yet, but I think he wrote the essay “Alone at the Movies” that kills me every time I read it. Like the best ever.

Alan Opts Out is funny but I wouldn't say charming. Worth the read, for sure. I'm excited about the Elizabeth Strout book!

Oh interesting! I’m a few chapters in to Alan now. Lmk what you think of Strout. I loved it!

I thought Alan was slow, especially in the middle. Great ending though!

Didn't Jen C have us read that essay one time? I really like his stuff.
