We’ve been told that Bookmatch "feels like a Buzzfeed quiz if Don DeLillo had been a Buzzfeed employee." Correct? Take the quiz and find out.

Rhetorically, this was among the less-remarked gifts of the Mamdani campaign: to see and speak to working people in both the bonds of universality and with the dignity of specificity. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Got my quiz link via email today, and the quiz was quite fun and resulted in some excellent recommendations. I highly recommend donating for the joy of donating, but also for the profit of bookmatch.

Reading @hamrahrama.bsky.social reminds me of Richard Price’s cameo in Scorsese’s LIFE LESSONS, when he says to the painter played by Nick Nolte: “I’m an artist myself, but when I look at your work I wanna go home and divorce my wife.”

I am one of the recommenders for n+1 Bookmatch this year and I can't pretend to be cool about it bc this is like my world series, Oscars, etc. Naturally I took the quiz & got an incredible list of books, none of which were my recommendations. They know me better than I know myself
