- Sat, 12:05: The Happy Prince and Other Stories, by Oscar Wilde I’m not actually certain that I would give these stories to a child to read – they are all so very sad. The happiest ending is The Selfish Giant, and even then he dies! #nwbooks https://t.co/lJyxlCHmkU https://t.co/zVbuyEJeFz https://t.co/bMRUvMpaKq

- Sat, 12:36: RT @conbrunstrom: @nwbrux Nightingale and the Rose is the most gut-wrenchingly bleak and awful.
- Sat, 12:40: Henry IV Part 2, by William Shakespeare A curious play, with a lot of good scenes which are not tied together particularly well. Falstaff’s story is much more interesting than the warring aristocrats. #nwbooks https://t.co/e2CLxnjDLU https://t.co/PuW4I3qo9i https://t.co/1ezXaAdrCD

- Sat, 13:15: The Inheritance of Loss, by Kiran Desai Well-observed novel about a household caught up in both the 1986 Gorkhaland demonstrations in West Bengal, and the effects of India’s relationship with both Britain and the US. #nwbooks https://t.co/6w9jRAdbUU https://t.co/jKTNsgZcY5 https://t.co/fdVmbDmYda
- Sat, 13:45: Ten Thousand Light-Years From Home, by James Tiptree, Jr. This one really did blow me away. Most of this 1973 collection are tremendous, many of them subversive – particularly on gender issues. #nwbooks https://t.co/gbyeCxx5mI https://t.co/ybH6RTeKmN https://t.co/6zZNv10M3K
- Sat, 14:20: Utopia, by Thomas More An unexpected pleasure. A very short book, with the framing narrative actually set in Belgium, concerning the wonderful society of Utopia. #nwbooks https://t.co/Nw2or4wiPq https://t.co/OPHugCCFoW https://t.co/RWle0bH41s

- Sat, 14:55: Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together, by Bryan Lee O’Malley I thought this one was particularly good: Scott’s angst about commitment to Ramona, with ghosts from his past and confused sexuality thrown in. A high point. #nwbooks https://t.co/mUQ1lHO5Ze https://t.co/zqeYXojRoH https://t.co/VT2uXQsNqG
- Sat, 15:30: Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall, by Bill Willingham Anthology set in Willingham’s world of Fables, interpreting traditional tales and nursery rhymes in his contemporary idiom. Dubious orientalism in framing narrative. #nwbooks https://t.co/zPzTGworMC https://t.co/JcdAierg9N https://t.co/8Nt19lsrrD
