"We're With Nobody" alleges that Lincoln was a secret power-top uber *** who ****ed and slept in the same twin bed as his bodyguard, for 3 years.

idk about him being a vampire hunter, but they argue he was def. a **** hunter.

and surprise, it's not just them. there's a whole cited wikipedia article about it. and Doris Kearns Goodwin says "meh, we'll never know. but there's evidence for it".

this book is pretty good so far. it's a very easy read for a political book? it's very conversational while also being fact/name dense. i like the narrative/commentary they're building with their oppo memoirs and the morality of their job, against the the overall history of oppo and 'dazzle camouflage' media mongering that spawns and feeds it.

please let me know if this is a good read. i always almost bought it at the borders french ***** section but i always choose madame pompadour or madame du barry books first.


i just finished reading this. i really like wallis simpson but i do not think this book went in depth enough about her. it took 30 pages to insinuate then sort of self confirm she was a hemaphrodite. then later when the duke was dying it was like jewels jewels then the duke died. then it totally glossed over how she was basically imprisoned for the last decade of her life.

now i have just started a 1000+ page book of the collected tales of the brothers grimm.

well, this is happening.



i'm not going to comment on it bc god no not on kr.

and my fiction reading is this one here



i'm like halfway through but it's starting to grate on me a little. i've heard some of his other stuff is a lot better. i'll try to finish this one, though, just to be a good sport.

i did like this one, but i've read a few other murakami books and this one was by no means my favourite. i love how obscure his books are but with this one it was almost like he was trying too hard about it. also, the bits with the cats upset me
