   hey thanks for linking, brooks!

   so far i believe i have every book from his “3/4 books i read recently and loved” posts, but if i missed any, or if your book was featured on DC’s in a separate post on its own, then i’d be happy to add a link to it, just email me

   This list is so amazing, and pretty much quadruples my already bulging reading list–thanks for putting it together!

   haha, yeah i guess the name sounds kinda funny out of context, i was thinking in terms of DC’s blog where the commenters are kinda referred to as weaklings from his poetry book/blog URL or “distinguished locals” (now that i think of it, maybe i should change it to that?)

   Other than occasional looks-in to the blog, I’ve only read God Jr. (of Cooper’s writing).  Very funny – Portis/McCarthy/Pesetsky funny.

   (By the way, it’s an old – century old? – joke:  –Do you like Kipling?  –etc.)

   if you liked the humorous part you should read ugly man; but i feel like you’d get a lot out of marbled swarm since you read difficult things all the time 

   just now got the joke, went “oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

   I only just now got the joke too. How about: “Do you like Kipling?” “Sure, I’ll eat anything.”
