NIGHTLY READING THREAD: Welcome to Edition #62 of #GMGReads. Every night through this weird time, I'm tweeting out a list of my five favorite books around a general theme—and a link to an indie bookstore where you can order them online....
I feel like everyone on Twitter is are watching more Neflix and Hulu than normal right now, so—since it's Saturday night, time for another big night in—here are some of favorite books on pop culture:
1) Jennifer Armstrong's (@jmkarmstrong) SEINFELDIA, about "how a show about nothing changed everything," will have you reaching for your remote to rewatch some classic funny scenes: northshire.com/book/978147675…
2) I BOUGHT ANDY WARHOL, by Richard Polsky, about the famous icon and the art world is a lesson about how $100,000 doesn't go as far as you think it will: powells.com/book/-97808109…
3) Glen Weldon's (@ghweldon) deeply thoughtful and very smart CAPED CRUSADE traces the interconnection of Batman and the rise of nerd culture: northshire.com/book/978147675…
4) Masha Gesson's (@mashagessen) WORDS WILL BREAK CEMENT, about Pussy Riot, shows the political power of culture: northshire.com/book/978159463…
5) I think that Steven Johnson (@stevenbjohnson) is just one of the most brilliant thinkers I read, and his EVERYTHING BAD IS GOOD FOR YOU really changed my understanding of modern life and modern culture: northshire.com/book/978159448…
Those are tonight's #GMGReads. What are your favorite books on pop culture? What are you reading this weekend? Share! #avidreadersunite
