I found an English language newspaper today. In the obituaries, it said that William S. Burroughs had died a few days back

Have you read Minor Characters?

[bootme]

no. Not yet.

[seventhdaughter]

I'm really liking it. It might be that it's more momentous if you're a girl, I suppose.

[bootme]

I'll put it somewhere on my reading list, I suppose, in case I ever find it.

I'm pretty much out of books right now, anyway, and it doesn't help that I'm pretty certain that my Ginsberg is currently sitting on a train platform in Zurich. Or Munich. One of the two.

You've done too well in school to leave now.

[bootme]

And you care it matters because...?

My marks won't matter if I'm dead.

[fletchfinchley]

You're probably safer at school than in Prague.

[bootme]

I have a good chance of dying either way, and I'll be happier in Prague.
