i'm actually pretty sure nothing ever does happen in that book. I found it really strange too.

Re:

it's getting weirder and weirder all the time...i don't exactly dislike this novel, but i don't think it's his best.

how is dennis cooper? i love lorrie moore.

Re:

dennis cooper is just okay, i think...
sometimes he has this whole repetition thing going on that just gets on my nerves.

OH GOD, sarah - lorrie moore is one of my favorite authors of all time. have you read any of her other books? i recommend birds of america!!

Re:

[shesgotheart]

this is my first lorrie moore novel. incidentally, i picked it out because you and kelly talk about her books a lot. i really liked anagrams and i just checked out 'who will run the frog hospital?'
have you read that one?

[true_story]

who will run the frog hospital? is really good, too. i love everything lorrie moore does - i can't get ENOUGH!

you know what else i think you would really like? it's called the quick and the dead by joy williams. it's one of my favorite books!! i always felt like i was missing something, though because it's one of those books no matter how many times you read it, you catch something new every time.

Re:

[shesgotheart]

i will check and see if they have it the next time i go to the library!

All bret easton ellis books are the same...once you've read one you've read them all. the only one I like is American Psycho.

I'm trying to get kelly to start something musically with me...it will be strictly black-tie attire material ONLY!

Re:

[shesgotheart]

you know, i think ellis's novels are kind of all the same, but i still really really like them. they're just so illicit, i can't resist.
have you read this one, though? it's seriously so fucking weird. there hasn't been one moment in this book that i felt was "reality"

so what kind of instruments are involved in this "black-tie attire material"??

[side_view]

I got half-way through glamorama, but didn't like it and gave it away to someone who would appreciate it...

I'm not sure, but I definetly think an accordian should be involved somehow.
