Nah, there's Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street.

I feared this would happen one day. I told younger son: " I think you might wanna go ahead and read Gravity's Rainbow."

Tusk is a woefully underrated ‘90s record and an influence on OK Computer even, despite coming out in 2003. The Camper Van Beethoven version, that is, not to be confused with a Fleetwood Mac album of the same title.

Inherent Vice is a masterpiece and the Pynchon novel I’d recommend reading first (although my first was Lot 49). But M&D is a masterpiece too; it’s hard to see it grouped with Vineland and Bleeding Edge. And V should have its own category - maybe Oddball or something.

“Nonetheless I smiled, leaned on my stick, and, no troubleder than Mom, gimped in to meet the guards halfway.” RIP, #JohnBarth

Plus, that photo. Bet his next move was biting off that filter before taking another drag.

1976-77 Canadiens

Why hockey fans everywhere love the #NHLBruins I’ve feel like I’ve had Jack Edwards’s back way more than like even Marchand’s.

The Donner Party

MacKinnon’s the best player in the world and #nhl this year and should win the Hart by a massive margin. Why’s this even a conversation? Definitely not even an Avs fan here.

My mom died far away (I was in the ICU; long story) over a year ago. I still pick up my phone like every few days instinctively to call her before I remember and stop. Breaks my heart every time. Not even sure what I’d say, but, man, would she have a lot of questions for me.

Which #NHL player (current and all-time) most looks like a hockey player?

“It's like, Matthew Tkachuk, Alaska brown bear, same thing. Same thing. Treat it the same way. Calm, cool, don't run away.” On Jeremy Swayman and showing no fear: nhl.com/news/jeremy-sw…

Jonathan Richman? Robert Pollard, for sure. And Dinosaur Jr!

Which poets have most looked and lived like poets?

#NHLBruins have the best logo and uniforms in professional sports. Can’t stand the Oilers’ logo and uniforms. McDavid would look so much better as a B.

The Book of Evidence.

Plus, even if you’re put off by the novel’s reputed difficulty, this edition has a fantastic introduction.

This ain’t no picnic This ain’t no picnic, etc. –D. Boon

Here's the thing. While Boston Bruins haven't sunk to Sabers-level crappiness, this season shows just how much Bergeron meant to the team. Irreplaceable, short of a trade for Barkov.
