    This week was not a good one for me, creatively or academically. But I’m bouncing back, and will have more posts next week. But here’s what I  was able to read: 1. I like to think that this profile of The New Yorker query proofreader Mary Norris is a projection of my future. 2. Ruth Bader…

A very interesting take on cohabitation, and what happens to your books. 5. The book that is truly the master class in hailing Satan. And a bonus: Valentino’s…

    This week was crazy, and it looks like the pace will only increase. But I did have some time to read: 1. $3 gas in the United States is actually a really bad thing. I wondered why it was so low. 2. The history and etymology of the penny. 3. Has anyone else ever noticed…

    Happy Halloween! Here’s what I read this week: 1. Sweden has its own national font now, which I think is creepy and a bad idea. The Blackletter font became synonymous with the Third Reich, and I don’t think that’s a good thing to follow up on. 2. I’m not part of a sorority, but this…

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Rei Kawakubo is fascinating. 2. Apparently, the oceans could lose $1 trillion in value because of acidification.
