I started reading it, then followed King's suggestion in the Introduction, about Zinsser's "On writing well" and changed to this latter book. Definitely worth reading. I will come back to King's On Writing soon though.
My favorite substack is by far 'The European'. I really liked it how they gave a European and historic perspective to the Capitol Riots of January 6. https://european.substack.com/p/january-8-2021
Thank you so much guys! I am honored to see you’ve liked it. And I am happy to see so many blogs here that I really like and love. 🙏 Keep up the good work, Substackers!
I think he's on to something that we need: going beyond the eternal present, present, present -- and breaking news. He's trying to explain how the world might really work and how some things just stay the same all the time. I think his piece on #Brexit was nice: https://european.substack.com/p/january-4-2021
Enjoying the book "Tiny Habits". I would like to share some thoughts about making/maintaining/breaking any habit in the life, inspired from this:
To summarize Fogg Behavior Model (https://behaviormodel.org/), three elements must converge at the same moment for a behavior to occur: Motivation, Ability, and a Prompt.
MFK Fisher's “The Art of Eating” and N.K. Jemisin's “Broken Earth” trilogy have been spectacular reads (and great inspiration for my food and climate change newsletter http://sunshineandmicrobes.substack.com. Shameless plug!)
And for pure pleasure, I’m really enjoying “The Duke Who Didn’t” by Courtney Milan. Highly recommended for Bridgerton fans!
Hands down my favorite Substack writer is historian Heather Cox Richardson. Her daily "Letters from an American" posts are required reading for anyone who wants to stay up on current events within a historical context.
On page 148 of German Idealism: The Struggle against Subjectivism by Frederick C. Beiser (slow going, but can't stop engaging with it) , Henry James's Style of Retrospect, Personal Writings, 1890-1915 by Oliver Herford page 91 , Rereading The Present Alone Is Our Happiness , Conversations with Pierre Hadot, Selected Letters Between Henry and William James, and sometimes the second volume of the Selected Letter of Proust volume 2. Sometimes I just like to graze!
I am working lovingly through Sex and the Failed Absolute by Zizek and if you are interested in German Idealism and subjectivity it should join your list!
I think of Emily Nunn as a phone-book-writer, meaning that if she wrote the phone book, I would read it, every single word (please tell me someone reading this remembers phone books). At any rate, I loved this parenthetical toss-off in her most recent post: (because even though we often refer to “the boys in the lab” at the DOS, there aren’t any. It’s just me, Emily Nunn, working in my tiny kitchen. I just like the imaginary company). Find her at https://eatsomesalad.substack.com/p/the-department-of-salad-a-running
As a data analyst, athlete, Wim Hof Method instructor, and Pulomonaut, I'm really liking a review of diseases linked with incorrect breathing (something we all think we automatically do right) backed by science.
Won't go into details, but yes! Over-breathing (i.e., breathing mostly through the mouth, non-diaphragmatic breathing such as breathing mostly into the chest, etc.) cause an imbalance between CO2 & O2, that then lead to imbalances in chemicals within our body (such as blood PH levels, alkaline vs acidic states, etc.), and linked to a host of diseases ranging from pulmonary ones such as asthma, to high blood pressure, snoring & sleeping issues, crooked teeth, weight gain, etc.
Wouldn't believe it myself had I not dove into unearthing the scientific studies behind them.
I have had asthma all my life and changing my breath has made it possible for me to be a daily 5 mile runner - I vouch for it tho I came to it via yoga/pilates and not Wim Hof alone.
This is amazing Chantelle. Stories like yours fuel the curiosity. And, however you get there, whether through Yoga or focused breathing exercises, relearning to unearth this superpower that's available to most everyone is the key. I suggest you research the Buteyko breathing ~ Konstantin Buteyko was a Russian doctor who developed the method. Currently Patrick McGowen is the best known instructor of the method. Patrick's book The Oxygen Advantage is also a good read.
It's SO wild you suggest this - I work 4 months a year in St. Petersburg and folks at my lab suggested Buteyko breathing and it is what I practice when I have an attack. I was planning on training with a Russian doctor but the pandemic ...well you know! My asthma actually deformed my diaphragm and ribs and over the past decade of stretching/yoga/krav maga/running I the numbness and pain I had have almost totally vanished. I have just integrated my body work with my theory/written/study - I even read and make notes hanging upside down ( I am working on handwalking).
I have to admit, after the death of my mother on January 7th, I am seeking good old James Patterson whodunnit pulp fiction right now. But am on the list for getting "Fossil Men," by Kermit Patterson which looks fascinating.
If you're looking for a solid mystery series, can I recommend Archer Mayor? He's a Vermont writer who sets many of his books in the state. They're really excellent mysteries!
Ah, good to know! Always seeking new writers, less mainstream. Have come to really appreciate Martin Walker and his wonderful portraits of small town (vanishing I'm sure) France.
Just finished The Color of Law, which was compelling (unfortunately not in a positive way as it outlines our segregationist past). Also reading one of the books from the Wallender series by Henning Mankell, and several other books at present. https://doublethejoy.substack.com
That we become simpler and purer till we become like the state from which we came from. To attain the simplest, we need to adopt simple means :) you can find more information at "Heartfulness: Meditation | Relaxation | Yoga | Spirituality" https://heartfulness.org/en/
If you explore more, you'll find that the man was a genius! Hidden gem. I would suggest that you check out his books and try out his methods too to see for yourself.
Like many of you, I'm sure, I have a stack of books on my bedside just waiting to be cracked open. One I just picked up the other day that I received as a gift but never read (until now) is "Zealot," by Reza Aslan. Really fascinating. Also just re-read "The Passion Economy" by Adam Davidson.
“Live Not By Lies” by Substacker Rod Dreher, “The Joke” by Milan Kundera, “Missionaries” by Phil Klay, and “All The Little Live Things” by Wallace Stegner (RIP).
Absolutely love huddleup.substack.com. It’s a super quick daily newsletter that talks about the world of sports with a speciality on talking about the business implications and monetary impact.
Every day brings a fun article with insightful analysis and creative spins on what’s happening in the sports world. I can only imagine tomorrow’s post will be about Harden’s trade!
Hi! I am reading 'Radetzky March'. It's a marvelous novel by the Austrian writer Joseph Roth. He writes beautifully about the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire just before the First World War—connecting the downfall of a noble family from humble backgrounds to the bigger patterns of history. Politics, war, romance, gambling, poetry: it's all there! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54258.The_Radetzky_March
To date, my favourite Substack writer is Josh Mallory from Mallory's Playbook. Josh has an insightful and creative way of discussing topics such as, individual players and the skills that make them an elite player, teams and their structure, gender and sport as it pertains to hockey, and finally, a detailed analysis of hockey systems that even a casual fan like myself is able to understand and comprehend. His work is incredibly detailed and content-rich, which will leave you waiting impatiently for his next piece. I would highly recommend his Substack if you're looking to begin to read about hockey or if you've been a long-time hockey fan and are educated in the sport. His ability to communicate effectively and clearly makes his writing easy for readers of all levels to comprehend. If you're reading this comment and you or someone you know is passionate about or looking to read about hockey, here's the link to his Substack. You won't regret reading it:
My friend Ariel Norling has been writing I Know A Spot and I absolutely love it. It’s a newsletter on various properties for sale around the world and how they were built and designed. https://iknowaspot.substack.com
I've been reading Steven King's On Writing. More of an autobiography, but some good bits so far.
I started reading it, then followed King's suggestion in the Introduction, about Zinsser's "On writing well" and changed to this latter book. Definitely worth reading. I will come back to King's On Writing soon though.
On my list of books to read!
I have read this, awesome book
That's a great one.
Love that book -
How can "Sol Stein on Writing" compare? Any comparison to that? I found it the most valuable resource for fiction writers!
I agree I love this book, very useful
I haven't read it. I've read Big Magic though... and that one is just so cozy and feel-good!
A fantastic read.
Seconded.
Agree. I've read it twice over the years and it's a treasure.
I’m reading Capital Gaines (Chip Gaines) now; think I’ll reread On Writing next.
On writing is also very valuable, you will enjoy it.
loved it! Definitely more focused on fiction-writing but there are some fantastic general tips that are applicable to all writers
My favorite substack is by far 'The European'. I really liked it how they gave a European and historic perspective to the Capitol Riots of January 6. https://european.substack.com/p/january-8-2021
Whoa -- that issue is an incredible read.
Thank you so much guys! I am honored to see you’ve liked it. And I am happy to see so many blogs here that I really like and love. 🙏 Keep up the good work, Substackers!
I think he's on to something that we need: going beyond the eternal present, present, present -- and breaking news. He's trying to explain how the world might really work and how some things just stay the same all the time. I think his piece on #Brexit was nice: https://european.substack.com/p/january-4-2021
Obsessed with http://changemaker.substack.com to learn all about how to lead positive change (could anything be more important right now)?
I was about to recommend this newsletter, too! Quickly becoming my favorite, so good!
Agreed! It's inspiring and timely and made me want to become a changemaker :)
Wow, thank you! I'm honored to be included here alongside many substacks I already follow!
On Substack: I really enjoy My Sweet Dumb Brain. It also contains something beautiful that makes me think: https://mysweetdumbbrain.substack.com/p/you-can-always-begin-again
On paper, I'm reading Lily King's Writers & Lovers. Fittingly, it's about a young writer!
LOVED Writers & Lovers.
Hey, this is really nice!
I've found so many new newsletters and books in this thread. I'm a big fan of BooksonGifs for book reviews (https://booksongif.substack.com/), Best Evidence for true crime (https://blotterpresents.substack.com/)and Kissing Books for romance books (https://kissingbooks.substack.com/).
And as a shameless plug, I write a book recommendation newsletter: https://whattoreadif.substack.com/
Hell yeah, BooksonGifs rules!
As bookish substacker, it's what I aspire to.
Enjoying the book "Tiny Habits". I would like to share some thoughts about making/maintaining/breaking any habit in the life, inspired from this:
To summarize Fogg Behavior Model (https://behaviormodel.org/), three elements must converge at the same moment for a behavior to occur: Motivation, Ability, and a Prompt.
B = MAP
Motivation: the least reliable
Ability: moderately reliable
Prompt: the most reliable
Hi Aditya, if you're really into the topic of habits, I also highly recommend Atomic Habits by James Clear. It changed my life!
Thanks for the suggestion Meriem. It's already in my to-read list, will read that sooner.
I'm always in the middle of 5-10 books at any given point. I'm currently reading Kathleen Belew's Bring the War Home, about the white power / paramilitary movement in the US. (https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674237698). It's a fascinating read. I'm also working on reading Eliot Peper's Veil (https://www.amazon.com/Veil-Eliot-Peper-ebook/dp/B085PSTJNC), about geoengineering. (He just jumped over to Substack and does a regular recommendation list: https://eliotpeper.substack.com/)
I've got a ton of books that I'm looking forward to in the coming months, which I've rounded up here: https://andrewliptak.substack.com/p/2021-anticipated-science-fiction-fantasy-books
Me too... I'm doing a book club, reading for 2 of my writing projects, too.
What's on your list?
Oh and the foundations series by asimov
I'm planning on re-reading Foundation at some point.
Worth it. Your substuck looks interesting. Just subscribed. 😊
!
Thinker toys, intellectuals and society, the rebel by camus, human compatible
Really loving your newsletter Andrew. I've missed reading your work since the io9 days. One of my favourite Substack finds of 2020.
Hey, thanks! I really appreciate that!
You're very welcome!
For Substacks — I can't recommend Christopher Brown's Field Notes enough. It's fantastic nature + urban writing: https://edgelands.substack.com/
MFK Fisher's “The Art of Eating” and N.K. Jemisin's “Broken Earth” trilogy have been spectacular reads (and great inspiration for my food and climate change newsletter http://sunshineandmicrobes.substack.com. Shameless plug!)
And for pure pleasure, I’m really enjoying “The Duke Who Didn’t” by Courtney Milan. Highly recommended for Bridgerton fans!
MFK Fisher is always great!
Can I recomend MFK Fisher's 'Consider the Oyster' - it my favourite of her writing
*it's
I've just turned the last page of The Art of Eating. Still happily digesting and looking at my relationship with food and writing anew.
Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy is brilliant. It's one of my favorite fantasy trilogies of all time.
Hands down my favorite Substack writer is historian Heather Cox Richardson. Her daily "Letters from an American" posts are required reading for anyone who wants to stay up on current events within a historical context.
https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/
The most popular substack!
I am reading Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam which is enlightening and rational-oriented.
If you are enjoying that you might also like a bit of Abu Nuwas - who I mention in this https://liberadest.substack.com/p/from-lager-to-lyrical-wine (sorry for the gratuitous plug...)
I’m currently reading Start From Zero

Great choices.

Zizek has become so popular!
Yes! His time has come.
I'm going to blatantly toot my own horn due to extreme lack of self promotion and my just now posted article, https://focusamerica.substack.com/p/who-is-the-next-trump
Really enjoy https://eatdrinkthink.substack.com/p/26-molly-bazs-recipe-club Their wine write-ups are exemplary and coverage of food media is wide and unique.
Great recomendation thanks! Love the range of their drink content

A “phone book,” what’s that? 😉
There may be a few on display in the Smithsonian, near the fossil collections.
Tough crowd. :)
Breath by James Nestor.
As a data analyst, athlete, Wim Hof Method instructor, and Pulomonaut, I'm really liking a review of diseases linked with incorrect breathing (something we all think we automatically do right) backed by science.
Diseases linked with incorrect breathing -- this is a thing? Wow. I'm fascinated!

I haven't read them! I'll have to check them out.
I am enjoying Platformer by Casey Newton. https://www.platformer.news/
Without a doubt Letters Of Note is a joy ride into the art of direct communication. https://news.lettersofnote.com/

The Portable Atheist by The Hitch
Oh yeah, and if Christopher Hitchens would still be alive, ‘The Portable Atheist’ by the Hitch would have been an excellent Substack newsletter.
I've been thinking a lot about what the "left" and the "right" have in common and what they are getting wrong about each other. This book -- by Joel Kotkin-- is terrifying and useful in understanding that we all have a common problem to solve. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coming-Neo-Feudalism-Warning-Global-Middle-ebook/dp/B07VCG8RPF#ace-g0979249316
