What I'm reading about the banking crisis, a Lance Reddick short fantasy film, and more
Roundup 03/19/2023
Greetings from Read Max HQ! Every week, sometimes on Fridays, sometimes on Sundays, and sometimes … on another day, I pick out some worthwhile and often overlooked books, articles, movies, and music to recommend to paying subscribers. This week I’ve got:
A last (I hope) round of reading recommendations around Silicon Valley Bank, the tech-industry/venture-capital response, and the possibility of a full-blown banking crisis;
A charming fantasy short starring the great Lance Reddick, who died this week; and
A video of the late Bobby Caldwell absolutely shredding
