The Bookclub That Never Agreed
M Mehran Most bookclubs bond over shared taste. Ours bonded over the exact opposite. We never agreed on anything—not the genre, not the author, not even the definition of a “good book.” And strangely enough, that was the secret that kept us together.

The Secret Bookclub in the Park
M Mehran Most people walked past us without noticing. To them, we were just a cluster of strangers on picnic blankets, sipping tea from mismatched thermoses. But for those who stopped and listened, they’d realize something unusual: we weren’t talking about the weather or politics. We were unraveling worlds, chapter by chapter, beneath the old oak tree in the park.

And what do you think, Mr. Robbins?. Top Story - September 2025.
No, I had no idea what the title meant when I picked up this book from the local library. And no, I was not a long time fan of the author when I heard of his death and found that I had two of his paperbacks ready to go: “Another Roadside Attraction” (his first novel), and “Jitterbug Perfume” (catchy titles, I think). But I knew his name. I had seen the books and I knew that someone was actually insane enough to make a film out of his “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues,” a film starring Uma Thurman as a hitchhiker with a very generous length of thumb (no, it was not a hit). And I stayed away from them all. My feeling was that Mr. Tom Robbins belonged to that interesting clique of writers from the late sixties that once had the ear of the zeitgeist, but soon lost it when people realized that they had nothing else to say (reviewing the remainder pile of the local bookstores has become an unmerciful duty). There was no place in my life for books on hippies, the counterculture that failed, and the false promise of psychedelics.

Everything I Read This Summer...
Summer is over. And I would say this is unfortunate but then that would be a lie. Personally, I love the fall and winter, the summer and I have never really gotten along well. That being said, I did get a lot of reading done this summer and I'm here to tell you (and only you) about everything I read this summer that was by or mentioned Jane Austen, because it was surprisingly a lot.

Daily Life
Daily Life is the fourth chapter in the book Lost Voices of the Edwardians by Max Arthur. Daily life in the Edwardian Era, in one way, wasn’t that much different to our lives today. They would go to work or school, cook, eat, drink, and have a roof over their heads. The main difference was how they did this and at what ages, and they wore very different clothes.
