Hello reader who is also one and welcome to The space between the days. Lost the streak? Did you miss it? Did you miss Sunday's weekly column? Did I miss my deadline because I bought a new mattress yesterday and spent most of the day lounging, limbs akimbo like a petulant starfish making noises no starfish has ever made or will ever make? Lost the streak? You are simply wrong. The weather here has no influence. Here is the column. I've been reading Mark Forsyth's books on words and this very good New Yorker column about Kanye West vandalizing an architectural masterpiece.
There's actually a dividing line between these two things: they both made me realize how much I love a good list of nouns. Books, books, books, books, books. Turns out it doesn't really work if it's the same noun. But what about you, dear reader? What noun compilations have you enjoyed recently? Reserve now!
