Usually wait until the day after Thanksgiving to start the year’s Christmas mystery stack. But did you know this one is (in part) about one of the best board games ever, Clue? And the real people that created it? Multiple levels of joy here!

Starting (Th)ings and (Th)oughts by Alla Gorbunova, translated from the Russian by Elina Alter. Hooked from the start. “Many people who after death find themselves in hell turn to psychologists , psychotherapists, and psychoanalysts since being in hell causes them to develop neuroses.”

You know I love a good book subscription. And I’m not saying that you should bid on this NYRB Classics Book Club Subscription just because it would benefit my school. I think you really need it. And will thank me later if you’re the winning bidder. tinyurl.com/3e6ecfae
