I pretend to a life of mystery given my two passports and nationalities, but grew up in the desert outside of Tucson, Arizona and spent many years in L.A. I'm more fascinated than afraid of things that bite, sting or have inch long spines, and my dad taught me the latin names for cacti. I have organized tenants, reveled in popular education, and uncovered and helped prosecute the figures behind slum housing empires. I've also picked jojoba beans, filed mining claims, sold bras in Glasgow, and edited some of the best books in the world (all Switchblade of course). Now I like to spend my time writing, preferably in pubs, though this has been much constrained by a debilitating stint in academia and current attempts to get free. ...more

Szplug There's something inexplicably comforting about the perduring status of Gravity's Rainbow in your currently-reading shelf. It's one of my Goodreads' rocks...

Maria Dear heart, I think your reviews are better than some of the books I am reading. You should do it for a living, but then you may not enjoy it as much and they may not be as good. Isn't that how it always is?


message 1: by Maria

Maria Dude, I got a couple up there. It's hard to remember what I've read in my life, so I'm working backwards. Recently, I read one cheesy romance inspired by Jane Austin, which as you know is never a bad thing. I also read another book about a kid growing up idolizing Andy Warhol - not too shabby actually. And, an erotic tell-tale that was remarkably fun although TONS of editorial mishaps...I think it was self-published. :)
