I just saw a profile description that said the person is a famous writer's project manager. Now I'm imagining what it'd be like to have my own personal PM!

Finally finished The Golden Bowl, by Henry James. Harry, babe, let the characters tell the story, not the narrator. I've read 18 of his novels, and this is my least favorite #booksky 📚💙
