Ask F. Scott Fitzgerald about crazy girls. They'll mess you up. At least he got a couple of books out of it.

For most people an hourglass brings back memories of the one the Wicked Witch used in the Wizard of OZ. From there its a short step to flying monkeys and most people don't want to go there.

Back in the day we used album covers to clean the seeds out of our pot. Try doing that with your fancy MP3 player, punks.

Are the nesting books books Tim Burton did not read before making a movie based on them.

I reread Dhalgren its summer. The last part is where the narrative flies apart and it gets really weird. I can't say I enjoyed the book, there's not an ounce of humor in it, But go ahead an finish it just to say you did.

Gravity's Rainbow is the anti- page turner. He dares you to keep reading. It is worth it. Inherent Vice is more like a normal novel. I'm thinking about reading Vineland next. Any advice?
