What was your first Tarantino experience? I was thirteen years old in an unfinished basement watching Reservoir Dogs on VHS and can still remember how shook my friends and I were when we saw it. Was that your first Tarantino experience? Or was it Pulp Fiction ? Jackie Brown ? Kill Bill ? Inglourious Basterds ? Django Unchained ? The Hateful Eight ? Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ? Well, the Tarantino Experience continues with his brand new book Once Upon A Time In Hollywood which is the propulsiv...

I discovered Dave Eggers in the late 90s when the Internet was all belts and pinions and the only two comedy websites that I remember reading were The Onion and McSweeney's . The Onion's site was the notorious outcropping of a campus comedy newspaper from Wisconsin and McSweeney's was founded by a publishing dynamo Whiz Kid named Dave Eggers who'd worked at places like Wired and Might Magazine , which he'd cofounded out in San Francisco. In 2000 Dave's 'anti-memoir' A Heartbreaking Work of Stagg...

3 Books is published on the lunar calendar. I share one new chapter of the show on the exact minute of every single full moon and every single new moon all the way up to September 1, 2031 at 5:52am.

The first bookmark was with Nora McInerny, host of Terrible, Thanks for Asking , back on the March equinox. And...

"The Ys sounds like Js," Yuyi Morales tells me when I ask for the correct way to pronounce her name. It's embarrassing to ask but my detective work online resulted in a half dozen different options. Yuyi is a Mexican-American children's book author and illustrator. She was born in Mexico and raised amongst giant grandmothers, mossy house walls, and rampaging feral gardens, fostering a strong bond with magical stories that ran in her family as a child. Today she is known for her incredible childr...

I was a tiny and skinny kid with thick glasses at my public school in the suburbs of Toronto in the early 80s. I was pretty lonely and definitely hadn't found my way. One day my librarian Ms. Ferrell handed me a book called Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar. The book single-handedly turned me into a reader. I had never read a book that was funny, absurd, choppy that just kept me flipping, flipping, flipping. I loved the book. I fell into the book. I read it again and again and...

Happy Pink Moon, everybody! Way back in 2017, I came across a feature article in The New York Times Magazine called "A Whimsical Wordsmith Charts a Course Beyond Twitter." The article was about MIT PhD student Jonny Sun's online personality — as a sentimental alien — attracting a huge following online. I was like "Okay, this is about the latest viral Instagram influencer and their particular brand of attention seeking behavior." But as I read the piece, and went deeper into the bio of Jonny Sun,...

I love you, 3 Bookers. The deepening connection and trust in this community constantly blows me away. It picks me up when I'm down, it's a barrel of nerdy laughs, it helps me scratch a lot of itches in my brain. And it's been truly great friendship through the pandemic.
