Hi, I'm Stacey Yu, author of Kitten, and the book I'd like to add to your summer reading pile is Claudine in Paris by Colette.

Hi, I'm Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller and Let the Bad Times Roll, and my summer reading recommendation is Hello, Limerence by Momo Yamaguchi.

So this is a book for anyone who has ever had a crush that's so consuming they've scrolled to the end of someone's Instagram grid, they've checked when their crush was last online more than three times in an hour, or found themselves on, like, the tarot card reader side of TikTok at 3:00 AM.

It's an exploration of hypersexuality, chronic loneliness, obsessive crushes, and unquenchable thirst, and it's all told from the point of view of the horniest and most delusional narrator you could ever hope to meet.

I absolutely loved it, and I hope you all take it for a spin this summer.

And so does Russia.

Gorbachev wanted to get rid of them.

He offered to Reagan when the wall came down, "Let's get rid of nuclear weapons," and Reagan said, "Great, but we're gonna do Star Wars." Which means we, we have these, these documents from the US Space Command, Vision 2020, where the mission statement is, "Dominating, controlling the military use of space to protect US interests and investments." This is a direct quote.

And so Gorbachev said to Reagan, "You can't do space or we can't get rid of nukes," and Reagan said, "All bets are off." He pulled it off the table because he wanted to go ahead with Star Wars.

And Bush is doing that now, and right now we're building part of our Star Wars right in Poland and Czechoslovakia, rattling our sabers under Putin's nose.

So who knows how long this ...

In other words, it's not gonna be just about nuclear disarmament.
