Slowly turning in to a collection of things that inspire, repulse, elate, and humour. Sprinkled with some opinions, rants, and questions.

A slow culmination of ridiculous, beautiful, and ugly. Ugly? Yes ugly.

theparisreview: There is a good deal to recommend in the 2012 edition of Dave Eggers’s catholic The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2012, including an essay from our own John Jeremiah Sullivan. But even if it weren’t full of sundry terrific things, TBANR would be worth buying for Ray Bradbury’s introduction, written weeks before his death. With a clarity that’s astounding for a human of any age, height, or shoe size, Bradbury pens a mash note to the act of reading itself, a reminder that good books are, at their core, a kind of magic and a reason to get out of bed in the morning. It’s something worth remembering from someone we aren’t likely to forget. —Samuel Fox
