Portugal wins at overfishing

I didn't receive a report for this post.

Israel arrested his wife last year when she tried to bring food to people in Gaza.

The LA Times put Kavalier & Clay at #3 on the list of top 30 fiction of the last 30 years

I haven't heard of those books. You didn't bother explaining what they are about so I don't have a reason to look them up!

That didn't stop you before:

I've never even heard of Michael Moorcock. I will look into his books.

Kavalier & Clay is a historical fiction novel following two Jewish cousins who create a popular superhero during the Golden Era of 1939-1955. It has rich, flowing prose and is extensively researched. I don't care at all about comic books but that didn't stop me from getting into it. Themes explored include war, trauma, and finding one's identity.

Stoner follows William Stoner's life, from growing up on a farm, to studying and then teaching English at the University of Missouri, to marrying a neurotic woman, and so on through the rest of his life. The writing is simple and precise yet captures a lot of the ambiguity of the human experience. I found it to be quite powerful. It doesn't have to do with drugs. I also enjoyed his first novel Butcher's Crossing, and look forward to reading his final novel, Augustus. Stoner was written in the 60s but didn't receive widespread popularity until NYRB republished it in 2006.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay gets TWO THUMBS UP 👍👍

Has anyone else read any Michael Chabon?

It’s too expensive until they announce a new animal crossing, at which point I will instantly order the special edition
