Catching up (various bookish thoughts)

[discountsatori]

(from this morning)

Oh my. I haven't read LJ in... 4 or 5 days? And it's not like I've been out of town or doing anything terribly important. I opened my Friends page this morning and began reading and commenting somewhat haphazardly. I'll do a proper, reverse-chronological read this evening.

Since I last posted here, I've been doing very little

Kinky Friedman... what a character!

[discountsatori]

Have you seen him speak? I think I missed a good show.

[newscane]

There was a segment on him in a documentary I have on Jewish life in the south.

Ha, that description of Klosterman is about how I would describe hearing Douglas Coupland. I think hearing him speak made me understand his writing about 6,000 times more

Aw man, I meant to e-mail you and ask if you were going. And then I wound up deserting the Internet for a few days. See, if I'd gone on Saturday, I might have at least run into the $4 litmags.

We should get together sometime soon! I suspect I live, well, not right around the corner from you, but pretty darn close.

Oh, and happy birthday!

I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books, and don't really intend to (I actually like the fantasy genre, but I'm so fucking tired of hearing about Harry goddamn Potter), so that makes me a complete freak in the eyes of many of those two books a year types.
