According to Dan Pashman of cascatelli and The Sporkful fame, bucatini is high in toothsinkability. Which is why it’s definitely, definitely superior to spaghetti.
Oh that's an interesting comparison! I was actually surprised by how much I loved Lonesome Dove, but I was not wild about 2666 (while totally acknowledging that it is brilliant and Bolaño was a genius).
I am very happy for you and your pesto bucatini. I would read pasta ranking, in my household this is much needed due to my 6 yo thinking it is the only meal we can ever eat. I loved the chat with Maggie and I also started Colored Television because of your rec!
Fully snorted coffee out my nose re: footnote 1
just one little thing pushing mine and dick’s venn diagram circles apart!

bucatini #1 and also 2666 is so incredible while still being approachable in the same way that mcmurtry is in lonesome dove
i need to read it soon, i'm sensing it might be my first substantial 2026 read!

I’m here in support of more blazer pics, please and thank you!
I actually just finished reading 2666. It was a brilliant book that I did not particularly enjoy. Glad I read it, glad it's over, you know?
Also, bucatini is The Best pasta.
"brilliant book that i did not particularly enjoy" actually describes my experience with quite a few modernish classics! x
That's so validating. I read a lot but sometimes I feel like a "bad reader" if I don't love the books that everyone raves about.
Planners and Pasta make for a banger five things
I cannot WAIT for you to read 2666
Aw j’adored this! Thank you 🌹
