I normally can't stand French thinkers, but lord help me I'm digging Deleuze, who's super French. Go figure.

I don't read much fiction lately. I think most of what passes for literature these days is absolute garbage tbh.

I did read All The Pretty Horses recently, though. I liked that one. Might read the whole trilogy.

Tried reading American Psycho. Though it was very funny, after about a third of the way through, I figured I had the gist of it and didn't feel like reading all the gross shit.

This morning I started New Hope for the Dead by Charles Willeford. It's the second Hoke Mosely book.

yes

Truly a great book. I read it all yesterday and today. A bit of a surprise for me. It really affected me emotionally. Best book I've read since Secret History

Now I'm reading George Saunders's A Swim in a Pond in the Rain. After this, I'll be just as smart as you MFA boys

Camilla - Pizza The Hut

Bunny - The Argonaut

Having finished the book, I think Mickey might have the edge here.

Just started listening to Charles Willeford's autobiography "I was looking for a street" and at home I'm reading the second Hoke Mosely book "A New Hope for the Dead" also by Charles Willeford.

I could redo this with different names but Argo as Bunny feels intuitively correct.
