Remember how people used to (and maybe still do) take their #laptops into #Starbucks, supposedly to do writing?

I'm watching #DavidCronenberg's adaptation of #TheNakedLunch. Thirty minutes in, the movie cuts into a scene at a #Morroccan coffee shop, where almost every customer has a #typewriter in front of them.

I wonder if Mr. Cronenberg ever noticed or commented on the similarities between this scene and "Starbucks #Writers."

Finally got around to using the book tokens I was given last year for my birthday! (Thank you @dauntbookspub for your amazing customer service).

Some classics I haven't read in decades; new new ones I am so excited to read!
