    What book are you reading?


    It's really rather good.

    Because I am a pretentious nob.

    Sick & Wrong's favorite author.

    +1 to this. Good stuff.

    I'm currently reading three: Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden, Manhood for Amateurs by Michael Chabon, and The Unforgiving Minute by Craig Mullaney.

    Im trying but I dont think Im getting it. If you havent seen it (or dont know Mark Danielewski) every 8 pages you have to turn the book upside down and start from the other side, so you read in a circle... actually in a figure 8... or an infinity... there are 90 words in each voice on each page, two voices per page and you open it so there are four voices speaking to you... so its 180 words per page (turning the book 180 degrees) and 360 per two pages (one revolution) its all math and a little distracting. really pretty though. because of the word restrictions, its all written in poetry.

    "Avalanche Lilies glee my Spring.
    Poppy blossoms explode.
    I'm a new terror upon the land
    releasing runoffs, tumbling
    torrents. No sweat.
    Me."
