We’re buying books, and we’re favoring the kind you can borrow, lend, or drop in the bath: In 2017, print book sales were up 10.8% from four years earlier. (Between 2016 and 2017, however, e-book sales actually dropped 10 percent.) In October of this year, book sales were at $699 million, up by $50 million from a year earlier.
I read some cheeto/russia news that pissed me off when I thought I had reached my limit of being pissed off and then I saw this thing about animals seized in a raid in Peru that had been poached from the Amazon and were being used to let tourists take selfies with them. People are the fucking worst. I mean especially the orange asshole, but everyone.
