Wow, that is incredibly sad. Thank god Sara Palin warned us of the dangers of offshore-drilling before hand, otherwise we would be really screwed…Oh dear…
What books ya read lately? I’m on Bolano’s 2666. It’s been pretty influential from a writerly standpoint. Next up – some stories by Thomas Wolfe, the one who isn’t a choad.
Actually been thinking about checking out 2666…so you’re enjoying it? Any other reading advice?
I haven’t been reading a whole lot, some Twain essays and Bolano, but when I’m done with Bolano, it’s onto a few short story collections, which will hopefully take less time to knock out. Wolfe, Jim Shepard, Richard Bausch.
