"Listening to this as an audiobook on my drives to/from Chicagoland and I was kinda struggling to follow it all but it’s nonetheless very fascinating. I’m just not an audiobook person I think" May 04, 2026 06:59AM

Book cover for Stoner
He felt at times that he was a kind of vegetable, and he longed for something—even pain—to pierce him, to bring him alive.

J.G. Ballard
“Deserts possess a particular magic, since they have exhausted their own futures, and are thus free of time. Anything erected there, a city, a pyramid, a motel, stands outside time. It's no coincidence that religious leaders emerge from the desert. Modern shopping malls have much the same function. A future Rimbaud, Van Gogh or Adolf Hitler will emerge from their timeless wastes.”
J.G. Ballard, The Atrocity Exhibition

Frank Patrick Herbert
“Nayla wondered, though, if she might experience an orgasm should Idaho reach the top.”
Frank Herbert

Herman Melville
“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick

Albert Camus
“There are more things to admire in men then to despise.”
Albert Camus, The Plague

Herman Melville
“Queequeg was George Washington cannibalistically developed.”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick
