How The Days of Love and Diptheria by Robert Kloss [Nephew]
kloss’s book is my favorite book from the past year or so. it’s a palate cleanser. after i finished it, i couldn’t read anything else, or contemplate starting anything else, for nearly a day.
Leidner is gonna be reading in Brooklyn next wednesday, come see him

Just finished Lightning Rods. I loved the tone of it in the first few chapters, but it got a little wearing by the end. Funny as hell, still.
Damn, what a lineup.
