Hey y'all,
Here are 10 things I thought were worth sharing this week: - Thanksgiving (in the US) is over, but I hope your thanks-giving is perpetual, you'll keep giving thanks like an emperor, and you'll keep using anthropology to deal with a-holes.
- I finally finished Laura Walls' wonderful biography of Thoreau. Recommended. (I was happy to see it on PW's Best Books of 2017 and the NYTimes' 100 Notable Books of 2017.)
- If you need more things to read this weekend, I updated my recommended reading site.
- Annie Proulx's speech at the National Book Awards. (Some encouragement for aspiring writers: she didn't start writing until she was 58!)
- In case you missed it, folks really seemed to dig my interview about analog tools on Hurry Slowly. (But please do not call me an "expert" or a "guru.")
- The defiance of Tove Jansson, mother of Moomins. (Oh how I love her comics!)
- Ear candy: KUTX re-aired my hour-long DJ set yesterday. You can stream it online. (Also: I'm still listening to Carly Rae Jepsen.)
- A few notes on my daily blogging experiment.
- RIP Malcolm Young. (Oh man, that guitar sound is evil.)
- Ho, ho, ho! It's that time again. Here's the Kleon Holiday Gift Guide!
