Tailspin is great Neapolitan-style. The menu looks interesting. That said, I prefer the classics with fewer toppings. The Caccio de Pepe, Real Cheesy, and Bone Marrow Bolognese are great.
I really like Pinocchio in Vegas, the Black Dog and the Wandering Boy, and South Texas Lawman. Two covers out of ten songs is a bit much, but I guess we should just be thankful he’s still putting out good albums this late in his career.

But I'm not sure he wrote 11 and I'm pretty sure he didn't write 15.
I'll add this one to my list.
I am about 3/4 of the way through War and Peace. The French are invading Moscow. The first quarter was a bit slow, but I am enjoying it now. I still prefer Dostoevsky. I'd probably rank this one behind The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment but ahead of The Idiot, The Gambler, and the Double.
The vast majority of Springsteen's catalog is overproduced garbage. The Saxophone doesn't belong in rock music. About the only thing of his I like is John Moreland's cover of Thunder Road.
Started this tome this weekend:
I've read Anna Karenina, so I knew what I was getting into. Tolstoy is such a fantastic writer that it the length isn't an issue, but I always need to reference a character list with Russian novels because the names all start to run together otherwise.
