Two books for spooky season:
COFFIN MOON, Keith Rosson: Best modern vampire story ever (although it's set in the 70s).
THE TWISTED ONES, by T. Kingfisher: It lures you in with chatty good humor (especially about NPR Pledge Week) and a lovely dog...then slams the door and bites you in the dark.

Faith is convincing oneself that something is true, while omitting the possibility that what one believes may be false. Faith is a fallacy. #faith

What is, “it’s canon”? (I just know this is going to get me in jeopardy again…) #spnfamily #spn #popculturejeopardy #jeopardy

“You aren’t equipped to confront a meaningless universe. You cannot conceive of it.”
“And suddenly it all made sense. Why not every night, indeed? It made sense to cry out in pain every night.”

Joseph Heller, Catch-22
“But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh, God, the terrible tyranny of the majority.”

-Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
I take back anything negative I said about Moby Dick. The prose was dense, and abstruse, and that was frustrating at times. But it was mostly beautiful and poetic, and worth every minute. #reading #mobydick #hermanmelville #america
It’s a cruel existence, I think, where I can’t sit on the sofa, read, drink coffee, vape, and not achieve the body of an Adonis by those activities alone. #Kafka #Books #Coffee #Adonis
Remembering Albert Camus.
Albert Camus wrote The Stranger, The Fall, and The Plague. In another book, The Myth of Sysiphus, he helped those who didn't know how to confront a meaningless universe. He described why life, even if it is meaningless, is very much worth living. #absurdism #philosophy

#A-Haydn-A-Day Day 38: Symphony No. 83 "La Poule"

Say goodbye to leftover turkey and a big hello to Haydn's French Hen: this Paris Symphony gets its name from the first movement's second subject (1:36), which reminded listeners of the jerky head movements of a walking hen.

I'm feeling peckish! 🐔🐓🐤
