Brought the Book Fight season on the Marriage Plot to a fun close, with @housleydave.bsky.social talking Bridget Jones Diary (the novel), changing attitudes toward diet culture, and why he says the key to a happy marriage is having "no expectations"

In time for my birthday: a positive review from Publishers Weekly!
"In this wild #postapocalyptic outing... Campbell’s unfettered imagination is sure to win readers over. Quirky and occasionally mystifying, this offers plenty to entertain."

New Book Fight! Guest Tyrese Coleman discusses OUTLANDER, the seemingly infinite permutations of romance novels, what makes a good "book boyfriend," and how much research is TOO MUCH in a historical fiction? Plus the usual nonsense

Close @barrelhouse.bsky.social observers will note that I am slowly changing our visual brand identity from laser-eyed cats to cryptids skateboarding and I think we can all agree that something about it just works. See you May 15, nerds.

Got a message on our old landline from someone obviously running some kind of scam about placing books in the LA Book festival, in this case an old collection of mine, and what a weird lame sad scam to run. Come on scammers, we used to skyjack planes then jump out of them in this country.

It is both funny and instructive how eager so many powerful individuals and institutions with massively grandiose understandings of their own significance have been to discard every value they've ever professed or pretended to in order to protect the dumbest, shittiest rich guy of his generation.
