Wow! I couldn’t put it down, read it in a day. Think I remember on the back of the book it saying it was written even quicker than I read it.
The last book I read in a day was Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.
That was in junior high, I think!!

me either, but i loved the movie. going to have to finish the book now...

I guess I had better start it...
Does anyone remember book clubs...?....??
I'm concerned that we may be succumbing to aging...
Book clubs were for old people....
Right??
Hello...
I'm mean mr.mustard... and I'm a book junkie.
And I want to read a book I haven't ever read before...
I admit that I want to dive in and imagine... see what someone else saw when it's never been but is happening differently for infinity...
Oh man... can I jones at a meeting...???!!!
Maybe I'll go take some air....
and maybe just this donut....
that's all I need...

i did the same thing reading "The Story of O" many years ago.
I was like that robot from Short Circuit when I was a kid ...
I just couldn't stop ...
Trading quality comic books and hard earned paper route money on batteries just for the flashlight to read encyclopedias under the comforter at night....
What was I thinking man
....
I had it so bad.....
And it's back... back but somehow more hungry and more fearless...
It is too late for me.... save yourselves!!!
By the way, the local paper routes are not widely available to wasted old guys (even if you have your own bicycle) and nobody remembers Dark Horse Comics.... but the local book store is somehow in business... just an FYI or an awkward heads up.

when i read, it's often something like: how to make a cmos distortion circuit or... like... why the nested hierarchy aspect of taxonomy means we humans are both ape and monkey...
but i do have a taste for dick... philip k dick.
i have to finish valis, heavily enjoyed the three stigmata of palmer eldtritch, absolutely adore ubik, and was perplexed yet moved by the transmigration of timothy archer.
there are a few others i'm forgetting, but that's mostly it as far as fiction goes. one day i'll digest his exegesis, if for nothing more than shits n giggles.
i know i need to read more and more history (the deeper you dive, the more damn shit there is lol), but i'm more into natural history... nature is a lot easier to conceptualize and pick apart: the stupidity, cowardice, and callousness of humans is just too much for my little analytical mind to handle.
it reminds me of ganredhel from the game elder scrolls iv: oblivion:

I've nearly finished googlei've been reading damn near everything i could find since i was a wee little fucker. from comic books, hunting and fishing mags, all the way to the Bible. used to get in trouble in school for reading ahead of what the class was on, and for hiding under my covers after "bed time" with a flashlight and a good book. this paid off in high school, when i aced both history and american history because i'd already read it all before.
