Another great INVENTORY by Andy Miller on the puzzle which is the love of music. And why is it, even more so than books, a love which is expressed through librarianship? @backlisted.bsky.social music.apple.com/gb/album/tut...

The Munchkins Miniature Shetland Rescue summer fair always turns up some interesting finds, and this year it was these two @backlisted.bsky.social inspired beauties.
New! Andy Miller from @backlisted.bsky.social joins me to take a look back at Marvel's surprisingly dark and adult interlinked series following Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, The Punisher and Daredevil as vigilantes at large in downtown New York. timworthington.org/2026/08/02/i...

podcast has been an amazing source of books that I've also 'enjoyed so entirely about somebody about whom I knew nothing', and I'm sure this will join them! 2/2
Liked @backlisted.bsky.social's Summer Reading 2026 special. Might re-read the Laurie Lee and Gwendoline Riley. Had already seen "The Gilt Kid" recommended on here, got a copy and am looking forward to it. But I instantly ordered "Gary Stewart: I Am From the Honky-Tonks" by Jimmy McDonough. The 1/2

Hello! Does anyone know a good resource for Irish poetry by women, particularly in Irish?
Thanks to @backlisted.bsky.social for discussing Laurie Lee whom I discovered only in my 40s via his beautiful description of a Village Christmas. Then devoured Cider with Rosie. Expecting a children’s book I was drawn to its poetic, often dark portrait of rural life. An author worth rediscovering
Also a lovely Backlisted about Joan Barfoot. @regretteruane.bsky.social www.backlisted.fm/episodes/215...

James Dalrymple@jamesewand.bsky.social · 2w agoFirst watch: Mortelle Randonée (aka Deadly Circuit, 1983, dir. Claude Miller). Not a hit on its release this comic crime thriller, it later became a cult favourite on French tv and you can see why… it is completely batshit, as if Brian de Palma & Claude Chabrol got drunk together and made a film 1/6
An absolutely splendid evening (which ended quite a bit later than expected, and long after the show itself) If you’re in London and can get one of the last three tickets, do so. If you’re in Edinburgh during festival, put this on your must see list, it’s a magnificent show
Martin Fitzgerald@4hundredblows.bsky.social · 2w agoParticular thanks to the people who joined me on stage for some fun at the end. @johngibbons.bsky.social, @ianrsalmon.bsky.social, and Andy Miller from @backlisted.bsky.social

Thanks to everyone who came to my Edinburgh preview show in Liverpool last night. London up next, this Sunday. It was sold out but I’ve found room for a few more. Tickets here - fixr.co/event/the-um...
I long to be like Other People! The extraordinary, ungetatable, oddly cruel Other People accusing you of being thin-skinned, sulky, vindictive or ridiculous.
I stumbled across this earlier today after hearing @chrisshaweditor.bsky.social and Andy Miller talking about it on a recent Egg Pod podcast. youtu.be/dbJNqjxa0e4?...

I have tried going to book clubs but they infuriate me. All the other people there are always wrong.
Past couple of weeks I’ve seen two instances of goodreads users suggesting an author had “swallowed a book of synonyms.” Even our anti-intellectual insults are being dumbed down.
Purchased (about) 20 years ago - listened to afresh this evening thanks to @iammilliam.bsky.social on @eggpod.bsky.social - one of the truly great podcast episodes.
I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.
