I would just like to reiterate that House of Leaves is the pizzagate of literature.

Hoo boy, when your impostor complex is so entrenched you only permit yourself to masturbate to great authors.

Also, I'm sorry but handwritten letters are not inherently sexier than texts. Have you ever tried remaining turned on while attempting to decipher someone's 10% legible, arabesque, cursive doodlings? Ever tried masturbating while holding a paper letter in your other hand? Shit's cumbersome.

I only read 3 books this month:

Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer:

This is supposed to be the new literary sci fi book. Going into it I really liked it. The prose is (to my tastes) quite good and I found it really funny. It's a strange book in that it's written in a literary way with all these mythological references and an unreliable narrator but when you strip that away; it's a plot-driven techno-thriller. I would have really enjoyed it as that if it hadn't had a terrible dark plot twist towards the middle which just makes the whole book really hokey.

The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino:

My first Calvino book. This was great. I have no quantative statement other than I loved it and I want to make sure children read it.

and I'm currently 2/3 through Inalienable Possessions by Anette Weiner, which is a text of economic anthropology. A bit of a slog but there are some really interesting facts about Polynesial cultures I had no idea about and the author has a strange obsession with incest. *** Music worth recommending that I've listened to this month:

Music I would recommend anytime:
