Status Updates From The Human War

"I want to go out with a stripper.

And it would never work.
Because I would be thinking about Dostoevsky.
And they would be thinking about coke."

Abandoning this crappy book. It's very short but I don't care to finish it. I was already ambivalent at best about it, but that passage clinched it.
An arrogant book, trying to be Bukowskiesque but just ... no.

Can't decide if this is good or just hipster crap. Guess I'll keep reading to find out.

“Your mother is watching you from heaven, that’s what dead people do, they watch us, even in the shower. I won’t even masturbate because I think dead people are watching. They watch all the time, every moment of the day, there’s a dead person watching.”

I see books as the purest representations of an era. When anthropologists a thousand years from now need to understand the psychology of the people of that time, they will look at their books. Not their bridges, computers, and skyscrapers.
