JAMES BOND: I have read all 14 of the Ian Fleming ones in order three times: once in junior high school, once in college, and once when I was 35 years old, plus I’ve read odd…"
"I was getting the Captain America series, excited because it was Ta-Nehisi Coates writing it ... and lost interest in four issues. I'm reading Black Panther now purely out of inertia as it winds through this interminable space opera story with…"

I read Dune for the first time…"
