JOHN UPDIKE. i'm going to read a short story by this handsome dude on wednesday at the merritt bookstore, along with three other wonderful authors doing the same damn thing (but from different inspirations). please come and join the literary fun if you can. #books #neillabute
MERRITT BOOKSTORE. here's a little something fun coming up this month: writers reading other writers, along with some chat and maybe a drink (or two). 'influential short work' is the theme, which sounds like a good time to me. and it's free, for god's sake. #books #neillabute

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

Five years ago today I took the best photo I’ll probably ever take. I like good photos and have a four hour bus journey shortly so need entertaining. Feel free to reply with the best photo you ever took. Accompanying description also welcome.

“If a friendship is meant to be a give-and-take, an ideal friend should, in theory, give as much as she takes. But this, then, opens the door for the frustratingly fair friend.” Weike Wang considers the many challenges and choices of friendship. nyer.cm/f6RWrTX
