| I have been buying books faster than I can read them |

I buy too many books/here are the books I am going to read before summer, maybe:
Gravity's Rainbow - Pynchon (started reading it tonight)
Americana - Don DeLillo
Underworld - Don DeLillo
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle - Murakami
What is the What - Eggars
The Diving Pool - Yoko Ogawa
Something Happened - Heller
Suttree - McCarthy (I've been putting this beast off awhile)
Absalom, Absalom - Faulkner
The Last Picture Show - McMurtry
Only Revolutions - Danielewski
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay - Chabon
I Am Legend - Matheson
Ship of Fools - Porter
Dubliners - Joyce
So that's 15 books, not counting the ones that I bought for comps last year and still haven't read. I don't know why I'm telling you this, Imaginary Audience, but maybe it's because words make me feel good. Speaking of, have you read this Joey Comeau story? I liked it a lot, and since he's gone off to France for a few weeks I thought I'd take this opportunity to say that I hate his guts for being such a good writer. |
