I had an interesting call tonight from a woman from our town newspaper who was writing a feature on what people were reading. My first response was that i couldn’t remember what id read recently.. then i remembered that kindle keeps track of what you read whether you read it on your phone, ipad or reader.. I was surprised to learn that id read more than 20 books this year .. And a weird bunch at that. .as i listed the titles i realized two things.. 1) that once i find an author i like i read everything he/ she has written until i either run out of books or get sick of their style (or both) .. Ive done this this year with hiraku mirukami , billy collins, chuck m, dave eggers aand a couple of others.. And 2) i like books where theres a layer of calm and normal told from the perspective of a protagonist who is a little bit nuts,, ever read murakami ? I think i appreciate getting inside someone else’s head thats wired a bit different from the worlds and seeing it from their slightly addled albeit fictional perspective… Thats what I’m aiming for in life, i guess… Slightly deranged an nearly fictional…. I feel like I’m almost there

nite all, nite sam
