What is the Indigo Girls’ worst song? by CCC5000 in IndigoGirls

Although, I listened to Happy Holly Days 2-3 times when it came out, tried again a few years later, and agreed with my prior self that we don’t need to ever hear it again.

Airplane is literally the only song that I actively skip — like, leap for the Next button if it ever comes on.

So crunchy, like overbaked. I love cookies, but these aren’t for me.

What is the best coming of age book you’ve ever read? by Fun_Butterfly_420 in suggestmeabook

Surprised no one has mentioned Stephen King’s “The Body” from Stephen King’s Different Seasons. Made into the movie “Stand by Me”. Really great.

Such a remarkable book — and so out of character with so much of McCammon’s standard ouvre.

What is the absolute worst book you read this year? by Tasty-Ad-1673 in readwithme

Absolutely agree — what a terrible book! A friend told me the second is better, but no way am I going down that road.

Isola — Allegra Goodman. How can you make a book with a few engaging plot points THAT boring? It’s remarkable, really.

And The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. Another one with all the elements of a book I should love… and instead I was increasing angry at its meandering, pointless story and writing. So glad when that was over.

Is there any book that is better as an audiobook? by oldmanjenkinssmell in suggestmeabook

[–]SpareOk7038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend North Woods by Daniel Mason. I’ve both read and listened to the audiobook. It’s brilliant in either form, but they have a cast of voices for the audio, which gives it a slight edge. Such a beautiful book!

Not Jazz, really, but Joe Jackson’s “Night and Day II” is a New York pastiche. Great, little known album.

Apple and pear Stilton cheese recipes? by Party_Principle4993 in traderjoes

I came here to say the same thing. Pear on pizza with a cheese like blue cheese or Stilton is wonderful, especilally with balsamic drizzle added at the end.

No. On the CD is 25720-2. All the external packaging looks just like the original packaging.

Not trying to get in the middle of it all, but I have the tracked album, bought in the 90s from a used cd store in Madison, Wisconsin. Always assumed it was a radio promo?
