Thanks for the tag @Andrew65 (I wonder why you thought of me 😂).

1. I honestly have no idea. 🤷🏻‍♀️

2. The more, the merrier…unless they start going off the track. My longest running is currently 55+ and still going strong (In Death, JD Robb).

3. Oh yes. Julie Anne Long‘s Pennyroyal Green; Darynda Jones‘ Sunshine Vicram … if it‘s a good one, I hate to see any of them end. 😔 I get emotionally attached. 🥹

Andrew65 😂😂😂We do get emotionally attached to a series and often upsetting when they end. 11mo

Pretentious & riddled with mistakes and typos. Made it to p108. DNF

I got some good information about the different areas of jazz, but the best things I got from it were the playlists for each of those areas.

Oft-imitated but never quite equalled, Lester Bangs is one of those writers (like Hunter S Thompson) whose influence on modern journalism is inescapable, mostly (and ironically) for the worse. I say ironically because I consider each to be two of the best writers of the second half of the 20th century, a feeling only reinforced by decades of bad impersonations in alternative weeklies and online magazines all across the country.

Bookwomble Knowledge engenders more and more questions, perhaps? Or "one in, one out", but I don't think memory necessarily works that way, unless we're reaching cognitive overload. 4y
RamsFan1963 @Bookwomble I wonder if he means, as we learn new things, old preconceived notions we thought were true, like the earth is flat, are removed. So that way we learned something new, but also unlearned (is that a word?) something that turned out to be false. New facts replace old so we learn and discard ideas at the same time. 4y
Bookwomble Yes, I like that. 🙂 I think it's good to hold the fluidity of a concept and its many possibilities, rather than seeking to fix it in a single form. 4y
RamsFan1963 @Bookwomble I guess you can't truly learn unless you're open to the idea that everything you currently hold true might be wrong. That's why I find non-fiction history and science books so fascinating, that constant give and take between when I thought I knew to be true, and new facts/ ideas that change my viewpoint. 4y

I love how Nate Chinen‘s prose crystallizes the essence of music into the page. It is a kind of genius, and one I‘m grateful for. This collection of essays about jazz in the 21st century is so smart, and so well done. It‘s been a joy to read and has opened my ears to many new sounds and artists.
