01.23.12 | I agree with most of the classics people have already recc'd but to add to the science fiction side:
1. HG The Time Machine 2. Vonnegut's short Harrison Bergeron 3. Margret Atwood Oryx and Crake and the Blind Assassin. Also, Hemmingway's shorts are pretty good |

01.23.12 | since we are on the topic of chuck klosterman does anyone but me find themselves agreeing with this article a lot:
http://www.firejoemorgan.com/2006/01/chuck-klosterman-i-cannot-let-this.html
Klosterman does a bunch of really interesting articles like the one where he interviews ira glass and errol morris or his write-up on the unabomber or the little aside he did about "Folsom Prison Blues" or the one where he talks about how much soccer sucks but shit sometimes well...
FUUUUUUUUUCK MAN YOU SRS. |
Vesper
01.23.12 | "Better question: how were you the first one in the thread to suggest him!?"
Uh, is this implying surprise that I was the one to suggest him or that he wasn't suggested sooner? |
americanohno
01.23.12 | also an interesting aside the guy who wrote that article I linked to currently is the showrunner for "Parks and Rec" yay! |
