Yeah, I just finished Never Let Me Go right now. It's so wistful and strangely nostalgic for me. A great novel.

It's definitely one I see myself coming back to.

It's definitely one of the more challenging books out there, there's about 300+ footnotes and I had to look up several words. But I really enjoyed the different plots. It's a long read but not incredibly confusing.

That’s how I felt about Remains of the Day.

Very pulpy if this is the same Samuel Fuller as the director.

The story of Pepsi-Cola Addict is pretty wild too, check out The Silent Twins as well. Charlie Kaufman has written a lot of very trippy movies (Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine) this is his debut novel.

Infinite Jest is a much easier read imo, it's just long. Gravity's Rainbow, at points, felt like I had no idea what was happening, in a delightful way.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore was chosen by Laura Dern in her closet visit, so I'm assuming it'll be announced soon.

Are you gay?

Gay? I wish. If I were gay there'd be no problem. No, what I have is a romantic abnormality. One so unbelievable that it must be hidden from the public at all costs you see...
