Long Reads from the C train. Some good ones here.

People I’d Like to Hang Out With

The Legend of Chris Kyle, by Michael J. Mooney — Profile of the deadliest sniper in U.S. history. Incredible story that I might have missed.

Roger Ebert: The Essential Man by Chris Jones— If you haven’t you should.

Kim Gordon Sounds Off, by Lizzy Goodman— “There is nothing desperate about Kim Gordon.”

Is Giving the Secret to Getting Ahead? by Susan Dominus— Adam Grant is really good at life.

In Conversation With Mike Brodie, by Barbara Davidson— Guy born in 1985 takes a few years off to travel around America with a camera, now just wants to be a train engineer. The Youngs still do things that aren’t blogging!

Other

Travels in the New Psychedelic Bazaar, by Vanessa Grigoriadis— Boys on the Internet are playing with new synthetic drugs.

FanBased: Inside Lil B’s Ecstatic Cult, by Carrie Battan— I don’t listen to or get Lil B, and now I know why? I don’t know, his fans are weird and fiercely loyal and it’s interesting.

What if the Tsarnaevs Had Been the “Boston Shooters”? by John Cassidy— I thought about this in the aftermath. What is it about bombs that make a terrorist, whereas people who use guns to shoot innocent people are just “lone” and “deranged”?

Allen Iverson, NBA Icon, Struggles With Life After Basketball by Kent Babb— Mo money, mo problems/gradually then suddenly.

The King of Oontz Oontz Oontz by Jessica Pressler— A fun, short profile of “world’s hottest DJ” Avicii. I like imagining the pitch for this.

Weird Twitter: The Oral History, by John Herrman and Katie Notopoulos— My feelings on “weird Twitter” are mixed, but here’s an oral history.

“Hey Foxy!” Inside the Oil Boom’s Amazing Bachelor Boom, by Maya Rao— As one learns in college, things get weird when there’s a lot of men around.
