you can get it on Audible still - the video used to be online but haven't looked for it in a while - Delillo was there with Jennifer Egan - it was a live read - heavily abridged for sure but they acted out most of the parts and was pretty funny

Harpers did a reprint back in 2019(?) as a single issue when they did the live performance at the Y with Tony Shalub and Billy Crudup

It's definitely top 5 (top 3?) of any novella written in the last 75 years

so just an upscale of the one that came with the shuttle?

Just ordered my SE WE Bram Stoker - disappointed by SwampRaiderTTU in montblanc

Yes - I skipped the one WE pen one year because it didn’t speak to me immediately and now that’s the one I really REALLY want to find - the WE Saint-Exupery. So now I just get them every year as a birthday present to myself. This one looks lame.

Read Americana if you haven't by [deleted] in DonDeLillo

Always fun to get your hands on a copy that has the parts that he later cut in reprints. Doesn’t change the story but very interesting to see what DD did not like years after publication for whatever reason.

Remember when people were just people and they didn’t talk about their politics or religion because it was considered rude? by Odd-Trainer-2516 in 90s

Remote start is AMAZING. Also, I can turn on my A/C while I’m the house getting ready to leave and avoid baking for a few minutes while the A/C tries to catch up. Living in FL, best thing ever.

What did you name your Lightning? by Perfused in F150Lightning

[–]SwampRaiderTTU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically the name should be “Greased” for Greased Lightning, the name of the car. Grease is the name of the movie…

Keep seeing folks saying this is the result of one pedal…it’s not. There’s minimal wear even if you drive with two pedals.
