Last week, a colleague asked me whether a certain feature is available on Substack “since you use it”. I’m pretty sure I must have winced in response. These newsletters are far too infrequent for me to claim any kind of expertise with Substack and it’s still a mystery to me that I have any subscribers at all, but this seems like a good time as any to thank you for being here and for the 52% of you who are actually opening the newsletter when it appears in your inbox. No shame to the rest of you. Thanks for adding to the numbers. Truly.
Loved reading your newsletter. Thanks for introducing these gems. I am hearing about these books for the first time. Non-fiction rarely appeals to me, but your description of The Lost Pianos of Siberia piqued my interest, one day I will get to it.
I keep coming across Zen and hadn't wanted to add it to my ever-growing wishlist, but you've convinced me!
