September, uh, 10th links


1. I love everything about this. Though I cannot explain it. a

2. 10 superlong novels. Well, fine. I've only read one, and it was Gone With the Wind (I was 13 and ridiculous). I think The Secret History should be on this list. Mainly because then I'd have 2/11.

3. Wah! Fall is the best season in Minnesota, and I'm sore to be missing it...especially since it's going to be the best in years. Sigh.

4. This 80-year-old New Yorker lived in her studio apartment for 45 years and just bought her own one-bedroom. This is totally going to be me.

5. Roger Ebert is a genius. I don't always agree with his reviews, but they are so amazingly written that he deserves a second Pulitzer.

  1. I've only read War and Peace and Atlas Shrugged. And I want every single second I spent with Ayn Rand back. Bitch owes me. I bet the Vikram Seth one is worth it. The Golden Gate was amazing.

  2. 2. I don't think "The Story of the Vivian Girls" should count on that list. It's not a novel, it is an unedited body of work detailing his mythology.
    5. Yes.

  3. Omg, Lee Zegar. At least I already have a bedroom. And Kitty. Hopefully I have 702 paid off before I'm 80 though.
