I really liked this book. I read it in a few days and have thought about it a lot since.

My book, IT ALL FELT IMPOSSIBLE, in which I wrote a short essay for each year of my life, is officially out today (paperback & ebook). I think it's the best writing I've ever done, the most I've ever sounded like myself on the page.

Beautiful book cover, art by Corey Neale, design by Heather Butterfield

And off the wagon momentarily (my wine).
Finally escaping the Casino Herman Goering (I hope).

#6 The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

"This is America, you live in, you let it happen. Let it unfurl."

The paranoid hang over comedown from the 60's. Short and pretty funny, and especially appropriate in the age of Q anon.

I think is the year I finally tackle Gravitys Rainbow

A reminder that if you're in Australia, you can pick up Gravity's Rainbow (Kindle) for two bucks.

If anyone else is using the old bantam edition of Gravity’s Rainbow for the read-along, I’ve gone and figured out all the page numbers for each day’s reading.

Fellow men, I recommend finding your love of novels amid dryly witty midcentury English novelists. A strong alternative if you aren't feeling Brodernism (sorry) or Infinite Jest www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/s...

This book was really good.
The cover of the book called “Losing Music: a memoir of art, pain, and transformation” by John Cotter that has the title on it on a cream background with a black and white photo in the middle of a very cool looking white hipster couple looking at the camera - presumably the author and his partner Elisa. There is a quote from Teju Cole on the cover that says “an acute and very beautiful book.” (Which is accurate.)

John Cotter and I planning a reading & convo about sound & hearing together at @spacegallery.bsky.social in Portland in a few weeks, so I’m rereading this & marveling all over again.

And I should have early copies of Deep Whoosh by then. 🤞

Shoutout to my favorite customer today who said ‘I need cheap books because I have no money’ and came up to the counter, set down a paperback Infinite Jest and went ‘Fuck it! I’ll be that asshole!’ You, sir, are my favorite.

Current reads. Slow going, but really enjoying them.

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times. And now how abhorred in my imagination it is!

I took the readyourcolor.com quiz and, although it nailed my tastes (purple), this spread of example books is so uniformly insufferable that I feel genuinely attacked
