i read it in one sitting at work yesterday
needless to say, my customer service left something to be desired.
i finished it right when the shift ended.
it's a very beautiful novel. (well it won a pulitzer.) very sexual and fast-paced, as novels seem to have to be these days, if they want anyone in this ADD world to notice them. it bounced from idea to idea so quickly, i felt tired just reading it. and i think it was less a story than a meditation...or the opposite of meditation.
exhausting and full of thoughts. colorful and neurotic.
it's about how a bunch of people's lives interconnect and how their lives careen unpredictably over time. basically. i recommend it. lulu is going to rule the world.
anyway, i have found a book with edward hirsch's lectures on love and i have copied it, by hand. i am very, very, very tempted to violate copyright and disseminate it throughout the internet, because i'm sad that the only poem he wrote that people care about is the one about sleepwalkers and maybe the other one about drinking bitter coffee and girls on motorcycles.
idk i wonder if cb would like it. biggrin

i like hashtags. they're kind of like parentheses, but hipper and more sardonic. it would be cool if hashtags became a literary thing.
edit: it was a terrible idea

What the Animals Teach Us (excerpt)
by Chard De Niord
that love is dependent on memory
that life is eternal and therefore criminal
that thought is an invisible veil that covers our eyes,
that death is only another animal.
