“Eventually the man comes to see that he has a mind, and that his mind is like a fist, wrapped tightly around a single thought. He cannot open the fist to look at the thought, for fear that it will fly away, but he knows that it is very important and that he must hang on to it, no matter what the cost.”

My only quibble is that you haven't read At-Swim-Two Birds and The Third Policeman.

So curious about your book "Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day". I wonder if I can found it here in Indonesia :(


i'm reading Magnetic Field right now. if he doesn't screw things up i'll be highly recommending it to you. i also think his other novel, Where All the Ladders Start A Novel, is a brilliant title.
impulse buying. it is a good thing. it contains the word 'pulse' which is also a good thing... to have.

that's really all i can ask from anyone.

damn, now it's not one of my favorite quotes anymore! i thought it was a description of some kind of food.

i struggle with it. it's similar to pluto-speak. and i gotsa little blue dictionary! it means something like "My children will grow up in this world. Should I not help prepare the world to grow up with him?

is that what that is? i just thought it looked funny. can you read it?

i read an abner dean book one night at a friend's house and then spent ten years trying to remember the name of the cartoonist so i could find my own copy. finally, after ten years of frustration and failure, i asked my friend. sometimes i amaze even myself.

dammit, i wrote this whole reply and then i accidentally deleted it. thank you for the cover, it looks great. i don't know if you've ever seen any abner dean? but if not, i'd be happy to send you one. i'm always looking for a chance to make people read abner dean. he's the best thing in the world. pretty much.

wait, what don't you remember? what's amazing?
i don't have the msn... only aim...




btw, this is supposed to be one of the funniest books ever written:
