New Kanye, nobody likes it.

1. Who is Dril? @dril is some dude on the internet who tweets totally random, disjointed things, totally deadpan. Some call him the king of Weird Twitter, but you can think of him as Internet Mitch Hedberg.
2. Cool, so… book? Yes. You can now immortalize his piecemeal internet literature in a physical tome on your coffee table. (Sorry, have Millennials killed coffee tables yet? Just find a surface.)
3. And if book is not enough, there is also a Patreon page where you can pay dril to continue to spout random thoughts in new, interesting formats. So far he is making $3,371 a month from his supporters.

Sure.

I recently came across two listings of interest:

The first is for a bookseller at a $2000-a-night resort in the Maldives. Responsibilities include, I gather, being a pixie manic dreamgirl who can “inspire” A-list guests to read and teach them creative writing, as if they were Hemingway in an age where people could just go write in delightful locations and be taken seriously. Also reading to children. Pay is “derisory.”

And, the second, for an Airbnb in Wigtown, Scotland where you can pay $37 a night to run a bookstore. The story is that this small-town shop was failing and some folks decided to rescue it by putting it, and the experience of having your own shop, up for rent. The store is now booked through 2021 with a waitlist following.

Lesson learned. Bookselling: business-turned-pleasure. Eek.

Read a book! Support an author! Plentiful recommendations here.
