You could read that in two afternoons and a brunch with an audiobook.

I usually listen to them at about 1.5X-2X speed.

So horny

Relentless horror

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

What’s he saying?

these aren't new. per se. they are unearthed interviews from the early part of his career.

With all the CMc talk and the new book coming soon, I am going to give the Border Trilogy another try. Thought it was all new to me, but Goodreads tells me I read All the Pretty Horses in 2011.

I recently bought Heat 2. It should arrive next week.

Already fucking stoked.

Y'all have any thoughts on Richard Hugo? I know nothing about him but his book The Triggering Town (lectures and essays on poetry and writing) is just sitting here in the office. Worth a read?

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Not as good as his brother Victor

I read excerpts from that in college and had downloaded it last year in the hopes of giving it a full read.

[Malloy]

the excerpt in the times from mccarthy’s new novel is hilariously bad

It's better to burn out than to fade away.

Good. Good.
