nice quick read. i felt more attracted to its style than its content and kept being more interested in how it was written than what it was about. i guess because in part i find stories of women who depend on men quite painful and so my instinctive re...more

effing loved this book, so fun, not overly cheesy but quite emo, full of teen-angst-quelling goodness, energy, momentum, and happily solid writing.

Donald Barthelme
“The confusing signals, the impurity of the signal, gives you verisimilitude, as when you attend a funeral and notice that it's being poorly done.”
Donald Barthelme, Sixty Stories

Haruki Murakami
“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o'clock in the morning.”
Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

“from the poem Holographic Personality Disgrace:

Some people are such assholes that saying, "Look, again, I'm sorry I cut off my thumb and glued it to your baby's head because I thought you'd like him better as a unicorn" means nothing to them.”
Sam Pink

Charles Bukowski
“The trouble with a mask is it never changes”
Charles Bukowski

“And I realize that there is nothing to worry about without first wanting to be alive a certain way.
That is somewhat relaxing to think.”
Sam Pink, Person
