Authors I can't believe I haven't read prior to the last few months...I have the same friend to thank for Jonathan Lethem as I do for James Baldwin. They're pretty much opposite ends of the spectrum, but equally (if very differently) brilliant. Currently reading Lethem's Motherless Brooklyn, and I honestly don't think I've laughed out loud this much since my first reading of Good Omens.

So, so lucky to have friends who are as obsessive about reading as I am! It's one of the strongest connections I'll ever have with anyone - the shared language of much-loved books. How do people live without them?

Motherless Brooklyn is great stuff - i've since read quite a bit of Lethem's work - essays, articles, novels. my personal favorite is Fortress of Solitude.

if you're obsessive about reading, you might enjoy LibraryThing. it's been feeding my somewhat OCD need to somehow document the things i read and listen to lately... i'm here.

oh, i like that song too. i'm going to hold off on a return 80's video right now, though, since Loverboy's "Working For The Weekend" has been on my mind too much lately. it will cloud my judgment.

well, given what i just posted in my journal, maybe it already has. shocked
