Eve’s Hollywood

Eve Babitz
Contemporary American Memoir

A collection of shorter pieces, and longer prose, all of the writing is connected by Babitz’s love for Southern California’s most famous city and its environs.

Where the Sidewalk Ends & Falling Up

Shel Silverstein
Contemporary American Children's Literature Poetry

There’s something very comforting to me about children’s books that rhyme. I grew up with Dr Suess and Mother Goose and I was read to before bed every night. It was rhyming stories that rocked me to sleep and it was rhyme that I first learned to read before I was formally taught to.

All the President’s Men & Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail

Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, Hunter S. Thompson
Contemporary American Gonzo Journalism Journalism

I often read as much about American politics as I do about the politics about my own country. Though it feels like I’m on the outside looking in when I read books like this, it to some extent feels closer than is comfortable as well.
