Jon Gabrus knows good weed. The comedian, actor, and podcaster has turned the act of getting high into an art and a career. In 2022, Gabrus produced and hosted the travel show 101 Places to Party Before You Die with his best friend and fellow weed lover, actor Adam Pally. In the series, the pair toured the country looking for the best places to eat, drink, and smoke up. Gabrus is also a prolific reader. In a good month, he reads about three books from start to finish—and even more if you count listening to audiobooks. His preferred genre is high fantasy (fitting), but he's ultimately a literary omnivore, and he prefers recommendations from friends to find new books or authors. "I like the old-fashioned algorithm of word of mouth," Gabrus tells Esquire. "I'll ask friends what they're reading or liking at the moment, and then just blanket that genre or author." Here, Gabrus graciously flips through his bookshelf and offers up eleven books he highly recommends. |

On Thursday, a federal appeals court began the day having stepped into the dispute between Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg and Rep. Jim Jordan's Traveling Carnival of Misfits. On Wednesday, a federal judge whom the previous president* plucked out of the Federalist Society hiring hall (and extricated from bankruptcy court) ruled that former assistant Manhattan D.A. Mark Pomerantz had to answer one of Jordan's subpoenas regarding his activities prior to leaving the office after a dispute with Bragg. (Pomerantz later wrote a book on the subject.) Later in the day, the Appeals Court for the Second Circuit stayed the committee's action. (As far as I know, straitjackets were not involved in the proceedings.) So the whole matter will grind on through the courts, frustrating Jordan's attempt to frustrate Bragg's investigation. It's still unclear what Jordan expects to get from Pomerantz, who quit noisily because, by his lights, Bragg wasn't being aggressive enough on El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago. |

Oxfords, rugby shirts, and sweaters, oh my. |

A sneaker that supports your lifestyle in more than one environment—that's a rare find. A find I couldn't find. I needed a solid pair that could do both the outdoors and the city. Maybe I'm on a trail run, maybe I'm stomping through puddles en route to the corner store in Brooklyn, maybe I've gone camping and just don't want to wear a full boot. Initially, I thought about the Salomon XT-6—a shoe we love in it's own right—but do I really want to be an XT-6 guy right now? Not really. Do I need to spend $220 on Hoka Kaha's that I won't use off the trails? No. So, I dug myself into a sneaker-less hole, looking for some affordable-ish Vibram soles to climb out in more than one way. Turns out, Hoka had me covered after all. The brand just dropped the Transport and covers all the bases. |
