Randomly picked up Eeeee (and more Eees) and the page referenced Jean Rhys. So. Totally. Awesome. No one EVER knows her and gives me weird looks when I try to describe her books. I think they think I'm nuts. Awesome timeline. I think it should be a story unto itself.

Hellllo.

Feel like Caesar weeping at the foot of Tao the Great's statue, having accomplished comparitively little by the same age.

K. It's not that bad. Feel sad I've never purchased a mattress though.

I, Seamus Goldshark, am a very large fan of your novellas etc (large both in stature and importance). I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on a decade well-spent fighting for Good, or some such thing. Huzzah!

It might be like THE PIANO TEACHER, as there is really awkward sexual momentum throughout the film.

In 2000 I also binge read Vonnegut. I read everything published up to that point. I think it was 15 books.
I am not writing this to say "look how much more I read than you" but as a warning. Don't ever do this. I felt sad that I had read them all and there was nothing left. I am trying to put spaces between author's books from now on.
