was watching Ezra Klein

guests Tracy Alloway  Joe Weisenthal  worthwhile

when he concludes his podcasts he asks his guest three books theyd recommend

Tracy Alloway recommended Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future by Dan Wang  his thesis  America is run by lawyers, and China is run by engineers.  North Woods: A Novel  Daniel Mason  A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck  Sophie Elmhurst

Joe Weisenthal  The Digital Reversal. Thread-saga of media evolution.  Andrey Mir  Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word  Walter J Ong  No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior  Joshua Meyrowitz  considered a seminal text among media studies

Breakneck  available at his library

North Woods also

also A Marriage at Sea

    he decided to press his luck

The Digital Reversal  a swing and a miss

Orality and Literacy  Strike two

No Sense of Place  Strike three an youre out

    NOW

             his trouble was this

he can recommend books to the library

last year only allowed to suggest twelve the library acquired eight the four they didnt was because their vendor hadnt access to them

his trouble January One

the three above would be in addition to six others hes stored up to recommend

nine of twelve on the first day of the New Yearnope

                                               not that stupid

he asks people if they make resolutions

he does not not that stupid

asked his father who said You really ought to.

Whys tha Dad

So you can break them.

sage advise

              hes ninetyfour

breaking them have apparently served him well

 

a real conundrum

a solution

find a bunch of people who do not recommend books and have them submit his recommendations

                                                                                                          be

if one would

a chaos coordinator

 

hell of a time to be an ascetic a hermit

                                            by any other name would smell as sweet

a recluse

           in Japan  hikikomori an adolescent male many syllables to simply say an incel 

which is tidier

Frankly, he does. Hasn’t a reasonable wish in the world that he can’t afford.

An by the liquor he left when he last visited you
