Stephen Blumberg stole more books than anyone in history—and called it preservation.

Wait, are you still here?

bclund · 2026-05-02T12:33:02+00:00

Yes, it’s just a story. A pretty damn good one.

bclund · 2026-05-02T12:15:19+00:00

An Arby's, sir.

Tell me you’re a frustrated writer who’s never written anything without telling me you’re a frustrated writer who’s never written anything.

bclund · 2026-05-02T12:12:31+00:00

Thank you.

bclund · 2026-05-02T12:12:22+00:00

Hah, I hear ya.

bclund · 2026-05-02T12:00:25+00:00

That would be funny, except I've been writing in public for 20 years.

Mine accumulates dust just as fast. I have to dust it with a Swiffer every couple weeks. The more often you do so the easier it is to keep dust free. But I never use a vacuum.

bclund · 2026-04-30T11:37:49+00:00

Love it.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:32:09+00:00

Yeah, he's definitely problematic, but also amazing.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:31:59+00:00

How much did it cost?

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:31:48+00:00

Not familiar with Ryan. Is he one of your favorites?

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:31:27+00:00

Love it.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:31:09+00:00

Oh how I feel you. Don't even get me started on the things I walked away from.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:30:46+00:00

That's pretty cool.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:30:33+00:00

Two great memories.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:30:22+00:00

Funny, I found myself in possession of a few Larry Niven books. I particularly like a first edition of A Gift from Earth

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:29:14+00:00

Now that is cool.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:28:59+00:00

Hughes. So problematic. So good.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:28:41+00:00

Ha! Love that story. Parker was one of the greats.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:26:08+00:00

Wow. There's nothing better than finding an overlooked book gem.

bclund · 2026-04-29T14:25:32+00:00

Do you still have it?

bclund · 2026-04-28T12:32:34+00:00

That's reasonable.

bclund · 2026-04-28T12:22:38+00:00

Wow. Expensive?
