I decided to try reading somethin good fer my noggin offline. i picked up the american by henry james, and proceeded to read a few paragraphs. or was it a few hundred? i felt like homer struggling with some edifying activity that lisa had foisted upon him, all the while wishing for the smashup derby simplicity of hemmingway. should i stop capitalizing? i dunno. but i think i'll read the sun also rises instead. I'm not a big reader, at least, not of books. too much time spent on the internet seems to have damaged my attention span. i did read one novel last year; the eye in the sky by philip k dick. I'd never read any of his stuff before.
