Welcome to lit.salon

One of my favorite articles is a piece by some dude in Toronto who obliterates his family’s life by trying to start a restaurant with no experience. The writing isn’t particularly interesting but the nature of the article itself is, because why would you ever release something so humiliating? Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else has anything to read in this vein. Just deeply embarrassing things about the author that would be better left to therapy sessions. https://torontolife.com/food/restaurant-ruined-life/

I know Open Library has been relatively unreliable lately, I apologize. I am actually in the middle of making our own proprietary book database with the data dump they have. This will allow us to have amazing speed, consistency, and control our own destiny when it comes to merging books, editing metadata, etc. We can also expand data sources in the future with Goodreads scraped data and alike. So please bear with the suboptimal performance for just a little bit 🙇‍♀️. We shall prevail.

I’d pay 3.99 per month for 1:1 time with @lowiqmarkfisher. <3
