no fucking goddamn setlist like a motherfucker.


hells yeah.

the damn book has given me a sonic hard-on that I cannot shake, for my hands won't wrap around such a 32oz monster.

I feel thrilled when fellow boardies are mentioned in the book.

I'm out of money to buy any new books, and there is no way I'm touching anything from the local library.

I'm reading, on a recommendation, zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance...about 100 pages in and its nothing more than ok. this narrator is the most anal, presumptuous narrator i think ive ever come across.

next up is blood and guts in high school by kathy acker.

finishing peter h. gilmore's "the satanic scriptures", bit boring.

New Haruki Murakami novel.
I couldn't get into After Dark at all, and I was afraid this one would go in the same direction, but 1Q84 is pretty great. It's more or less in the same vein as Wind Up Bird or Kafka on the Shore in that classic Murakami loose ends everywhere whatthefuckisgoingon? sort of way (which is a-okay with me).

Finished Everyman's Library The Dain Curse, The Glass Key, and Selected Stories. The Glass Key has one cold blooded ending.
Returning to the unread in the bookcase group I am picking up the The Great Dune Trilogy omnibus and now reading Dune Messiah
