Finished reading Jim Dodge's Fud and Philip Roth's Plot Against America.
I had never been too fond of Roth, but that read was great. Dropped Norman Mailer's Executioner's Song ten pages into it. Have to say that I don't want to order books on the internet, and there's only one bookstore where English written books can be found, and they come by sparsely, so my version was a translation, and a poor poor one (one shouldn't translate "across the table" that way...) Currently reading Bernard Moitessier's La longue route. He was a sailor, on his way of completing a race when he decided the whole thing was stupid and went on a second world tour peacefully. Beautifully written. AND... that race is starting to make quite an impression on me, considering that it was the same race Donald Crowhurst ran, that another competitor sunk 2000 miles from the finish line to hang himself a couple of years later... The Crowhust story, a man whose only options were terrible ones, here (English) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jILxbWupWLg |

so THIS happened today....
A few months ago I read and reviewed Alan Moore's novel Jerusalem. ( http://rxttbooks.blogspot.com/2017/0...-contains.html ). I had requested a galley/review copy of it from Mr. Moore's publisher and was sent one to my surprise. Having read it, I printed out a copy of my review and sent it via snail mail to Alan Moore's publisher, hoping they would forward it to his home/office. This was several months ago. (Alan Moore does NOT use the interwebemails ) Today I open up my mail and see an email from a "Joe" who introduced himself as Alan Moore's personal assistant, and in the email was an attachment, that Alan Moore had asked Joe to send to me. I nearly shit my pants.

dammit, rob, you making us proud...
my sincerest congrats. not for the public glory or anything, but in actually communicating in a meaningful way with a writer whose work you admire reading for comprehension is an awesome thing. few people do it these days. everyone glosses over shit in order to fill some sort of mental checkbox. like people taking selfies at a place instead of actually being there. but not you with this. that is very good. |

Incredible. To get something like that, and from Alan Moore of all people is something else. Nice to see all the hard work you've put into this blog isn't starting to pay off and getting recognised. Kudos.

Fucking hell Rob, a letter from Alan Moore, and a friendly one at that! There can't be many of those in existence anywhere. Congratulations. You deserve it.

Its almost like getting a letter from JD Salinger. Moore is very reclusive and does not do many interviews

As a fiction reader with a weird love for erotica, I know many of the places to find them, but I'm always searching for more and happy to find a new spot, that has been unknown to me. Recently I found a new gem for free erotic stories, that I'm currently going through. As always, a number of the stories there can be found on other sites too (meaning I know them already), but a few of them are surprisingly well written are new to me. Makes me happy.

Is this spam? I can't tell if this is spam. Certaintly better written than the usual spam but it looks like spam.
