Black Cherry Blues was my first and only Burke. found the
man's prose style a little too florid for my taste. the usual
criticisms of his work probably bother me more than they do
other people.
read Outcast this month, mostly in small increments before
going to sleep. but didn't finish it in time to comment while
Jose was here. liked the first chapter and how it all turned
out. yeah, Jose. this is a money-centric society. that's why
they call it Capitalism. in the news lately, I enjoyed
reading about people fighting in court over the trademark for
the phrase
"let's roll" in order to cash in big in the patriotism
business. yes, even that is now a business. America, love it
or leave it.
just cracked open my free copy of Jason Starr's Hard Feelings
which arrived by express mail the other day. guy sees another
guy on the street who he hasn't seen since he was a boy.
feels anxious the rest of the day, that night flashes on
repressed memory of being molested by this guy as a child.
this looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
