Was this good? I have always meant to read it but... And how did I get so much further behind than you. I feel like I should be reading every waking hour yet keep falling asleep any time I sit down to read.
 

I've been hustling these last few weeks, trying to catch up (i.e. reading shorter books!). Oh, and we just passed the halfway mark, btw.

Yeah, this one was good. It's a portrait of a family told in mini-portraits, like a Chuck Close painting, maybe. A fragmented whole.
 

Maybe you should toss it my way as I will take it as a recommendation from you. And I still have some of your books. They are in safe hands.

I noticed that the half way mark was upon us. It struck me with a kind of panic as I don't seem to be clocking enough pages right now. I have spring break in two weeks and I am seeing that as some time to break into spring by reading.
 

I'm glad you're feeling the stress. I am too. This is probably my favorite part of this project: coolly facilitating the hot pleasure of reading. Aside from my masochistic leanings, I'm not sure why this pressure makes me so happy.

What books of mine do you still have?! I know that Kara Walker book. Independence Day? I'm missing that one still. What else? I love getting books back.

I'll loan you Lenny Bruce Is Dead next time I see you, which will be...
 

I have the Kara Walker and a Vollman. Maybe Ishiguro. I do not have Independence Day but highly recommend it.

Going to Michigan tomorrow till end of next week. Will you be around next weekend?
 

Yep, I'll be here. Did I tell you I'm traveling with Davy again? I leave May 9th-ish. Gonna have to bring books with me. Yikes!
 

That is so soon. I think I have forgotten what you look like. Is there a new issue of Found out or is the tour for something different?
