    My younger son (12) isn't much of a reader. He craves Roblox, Youtube Shorts, Fortnite, anything but a book. So I gave him the most brutally addictive novel I could think of, ENDER'S GAME ... and it's working. I think. But I can't think what to give him next. Suggestions?

    I took my new kitten Gandalf in for a checkup today and I just want to give total kudos to the vet who informed me that Gandalf was not as I thought a boy cat by saying 'looks like Gandalf's a Galadriel'

    there’s a lot of hurt in my @’s about the season finale. I don't feel like I can speak for the show--I consult on it but I don't write it--but I just want to say that I hear you. I don’t know if that’s worth anything but I feel you. I'm here. You’re not shouting into the void

    To be clear: I want the least demanding, most utterly obsession-inducing reads you can think of. Don't hold back.

    My 9 year old daughter listened to Goblet of Fire, and now her bedtime ritual is that I'm Wormtail and she's a hideous disembodied Voldemort who has to be tucked into his cauldron with the dust of his dead father, Harry Potter's blood and my severed hand

    And one more from the late unequalled Ursula Le Guin: “People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.”
