Seventy-Second Book
Lenny Bruce Is Dead : Jonathan Goldstein
Counterpoint : 2006
Bought at Mercer Books for $3.95
Started 3.29.06
Finished 3.31.06
The Line: "Sex at eighteen had been like eating saltines over the sink in the middle of the night, petting a dog to make someone happy, saying hello over and over, faster and faster, eating a sandwich with tiny bites until you reach a point where you think you're never going to finish" (127).
I can't think of a
haiku that doesn't mention
sex or yogurt. See?! ¶ 14:20

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...
