“@mariskreizman fantastic book”
“My favorite book of 2016 was So Sad Today by Melissa Broder.”
“Super comprehensive history of everything. As if your grandfather were sitting around with a bunch of little kids explaining it.”
“Stayed up far too late reading The Empathy Exams by @lsjamison. This book should be required if you're looking to be a person.”
“My favorite book (as requested by @stevenstrogatz). Feel free to comment yours!”
“Every time I thought I had this book figured out, it twisted then twisted again. First, I was confused, then enchanted, then genuinely shocked, then completely trapped. Not my usual kind of read but super fun. Beautifully written and performed.”
“@goldengateblond @CelticWombat You’re welcome. It’s a fantastic book, btw”
