“Mallory, when we told you about today’s theme [of Literary Baes], and asked you who you wanted to talk about, you sent us a list that was basically a taxonomy of your literary crushes organized by category. Can you tell us a little more about that list?” “I would love to tell you a little bit more about that list. I spent probably 25 minutes making sure that I had all the categories right. I’ve got Witholding Jerks Who Are Obsessed With You, Capitalist Exception Fantasies, Simultaneously Devoted Yet Unavailable Lesbians Of All Genders, and Wry Best Friends That Everyone Else Has Overlooked But Not You.” –Nichole Perkins and Mallory Ortberg on Thirst Aid Kit

Mine came a day late (thanks, snow!) but I'm SO excited to read this!

"Am I going to be dragged into this new nobility, or can I merely sit back and observe?" "I was not speaking to you, woman," David said. "I was addressing my hangover, who is a vigorous young squire of twenty-seven, with a wife and several children besides. Currently he is playing a game of horseshoes with ship anchors just underneath my skin, and cannot be disturbed. Also, you are lying down, and your eyes are closed, which would make observing anything a challenge, even for you." "Are we going to be introduced?" Alison asked. "I don't think I would like you two to meet," he said.
