The last book I read was "I am Max" which is a short follow up to The Grinch from the perspective of the Grinch's dog Max, who talks about how much he loves his owner, but also recounts how he used to be bad through retelling the original story. It's written and drawn in the style of Dr. Seuss, but with none of the charm or character, and it was sold at Kohl's with a Max plush toy.

"Year of the bastardized Suess book with accompanying plushie." Just how David Foster Wallace would have wanted it.
Thank you. I especially like your Substack recommendations.
Glad to hear that, Michael!

Amazing how you have the time, breadth and patience to put all this together. Happy New Year.
Thanks, Michael! Happy New Year!
