Lyrical Genius by Kwame Dawes promises to bring the later years into focus. The writing is very good. The author has a deep appreciation for Jamaica. I don't know anything else because I am reading it slowly. I have lots left.

The Trail Drivers of Texas by J MarvinHunter. On about page 850 of 1000, I've had to renew it twice from the library...almost as long as the Polyponnesian War by Thucydides.

Useful comment.

Uh... I read Bentham/ Mill the other day. It was shit. Now I'm reading John Donne. Dense/ good. Coleridge next.

It's hard to disagree with a lot of Jones's points but, well, here's a photo of him. Should say everything, really

You can tell he never goes out or to the ''right'' places to realise that chavs have been progressively pushed to the suburbs in the past couple of years.

I'm just bitter that I never wrote it, if I'm honest.

Interesting utube post - thanks. Before he won the PGA and was on the tour playing random events because he didn't have full privileges he always got an invite to play the event in Sutton MA. which put him downtown drinking in Worcester where he ended up on the dance floor on all fours barking at the moon one Saturday nite.

I'm just about to start it so can't comment yet. It looks like an interesting topic, though.

not his best... but worth reading for any philip k dick fan (which i am). Eventually, i want to read Ubik.

Sam Lipsyte : The Ask

And during the week end

John Kennedy Toole : A Confederacy of Dunces
(in French, I find the translation funnier, Reilly's diatribes in English are too odd and uncomfortable)

That's Toole; add a moustache and you have the character - his eyes, that's him!
