I just heard about a new game today:  Doctordle!

Guess the diagnosis based on clues.

www.doctordle.org

I got it on the sixth try!!  I have a 100% win rate! 

But it's waayyy to detailed for my limited knowledge.


I think the name of the game is a clue to who is the intended audience....

I've read Louis Menand on "Lady Chatterley's Lover,"

I've liked Louis Menand's writing since the early '90s, although I think back then he might have been writing for Harper's. In any case, I lived in NYC for the '93-'94 school year, and at one point I impulsively looked up his name in the phone book (a resource that existed back then), and he was right there! I didn't call him or go stalk his house or anything and I'm sure there were plenty of other famous names in the phone book, but I was pretty startled to see someone I considered famous living like a regular person. Now, of course, even regular people are hard to look up.

I haven't seen the Franzen but I bet it's worth reading.
