Greetings from Learn Max HQ, and welcome to our weekly roundup column, through which I pick some worthwhile and infrequently neglected books, articles, motion pictures, and music to advocate to paying subscribers. For this week’s round-up, I’ve bought:
-
A singular, hilarious, tragic, and pleasant story of ardour and battle that’s paying homage to Charles Portis and John Kennedy Toole;
-
a brand new guide about L.L.M.s and language I’ve been having fun with, plus essays and columns about A.I. and labor, knowledge as explosives, and the endangered species of the White Male Novelist;
-
an unbelievably cool Hong Kong gangster flick; and
-
4 tracks I’ve been loving.
If any of that sounds interesting–and if you wish to help Learn Max in its persevering with mission of explaining the longer term to comparatively regular people–please subscribe beneath. Subscribers get entry to those weekly emails and to the great Learn Max Grasp Lists of Good Movies to Watch and Good Books to Read–as properly as preferred pricing on merchandise like the Read Max “EMAIL SUPPLY” caps. In the event you’re already a subscriber, thanks.
I really like to listen to from readers who need to advocate a cool guide or film (or no matter!) to me, or from readers who’re searching for particular sorts of suggestions. Simply go away a remark or drop me a line at maxread@gmail.com.
Lastly, please observe that I’ll obtain a small fee if you buy books by way of hyperlinks on this electronic mail.
