I haven't touched his books in years, but they've all been sitting on my Kindle. I loooove Senselessness and have read it I think twice (it's also one of the only signed books I have, from when I saw him speak at Brown in like 2011), and I also really liked Dances with Snakes. Still have a few to go.

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.

We bought a new washer/dryer, then of course the house came with an irrigation system, stove, dishwasher, etc. We’re also planning on having a fireplace installed, so I’ve been reading different spec sheets on those.
Irrigation system?

We're looking forward to having a gas range again but I'm more of a wing-it guy.
