Separated at birth?
I got a very neat note today from the proprietor (-tress? -trix?) of Davenport. We're both using the same great graphic from the long-departed Squaresville, and she's using the Font Diner font that used to be the Vintage Reader font. But besides that, there are some eerie similarities between us:
I think we're secret twins or something. In any event, I'm really enjoying Davenport, especially the Bad Book Reviews.
- She's a librarian. I'm an ex-librarian.
- We have several of the same obscure movies on our favorites list: Next Stop, Wonderland, Sliding Doors, and of course, The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T., the amazing, bizarre, live-action Dr. Seuss movie.
- We both seem to have a thing for John Cusack and Bill Pullman.
- We both grew up in the 70s, reading 1950s "malt shop" books.
- Apparently we both really like reading about New York in the 30s and 40s, as evidenced by her inclusion of Breakfast at Tiffany's (yes, that's right, the book takes place in the 40s), Dawn Powell, and Patrick Dennis on her lists of favorite books.
I think we're secret twins or something. In any event, I'm really enjoying Davenport, especially the Bad Book Reviews.
