@erikhane But it's always what I'm unfamiliar with, or something old that gets presented in a new way, that ends up sticking with me. #mswl

@erikhane Sure, there are "things" I like in books. Religion. Biology. Chess. Dinner table scenes. Well-rendered historical settings. #mswl

@erikhane I think of the abstract things: Tension. Empathy. Pace. The times I stopped to take a lap around my apartment while reading. #mswl

So, I've been thinking about my #mswl and it's been tricky to put a finger on what I'm "wishing for," in terms of concrete traits.

Dream queries: Marilynne Robinson on tennis. Klosterman on SEC football. A debut novel from someone obsessed with Chabon and Karen Russell.
