The Ten, Make That Nine, Habits of Very Organized People. Make That Ten.: The Tweets of Steve Martin
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
This book might have seemed kind of dumb and kitschy when it came out (like, why would I buy a book of printed tweets?), but I’m actually very grateful that it exists, because it allows me to see what Steve’s twitter was really like before Twitter shat itself and imploded under the Nazi. So, in that way, it's something of a time capsule, or a media preservation project. Thanks Steve!

Would have liked a little more discussion of 2000s tech/tech marketing and how it relates to the kind of utopian futurism ideal, but overall this was great.

de Vise is a truly masterful nonfiction writer. The degree of research combined with the ease of storytelling is just... amazing.

Fascinating premise (suffragette on an antarctic expedition in the heat of wwi) but doesn't seem to have anything interesting to say about early feminism, expeditions/colonialism, war/the contribution of women to the war effort, or anything. Like The Terror TV adaptation if it sucked and was bad.
