seems like it's time for the bimonthly goodreads update....

so fantastic as always. thinking about kate gompert and joelle van dyne forever

most recent brilliant line I read: "Be a fucking human being for once.... You can get hurt and mad at people, Boo. News-flash at almost fucking nineteen, kid. It's called bein a person. You can get mad at somebody an dit doesn't mean they'll go away."

I have so much I need to read but, sorry to announce it, here I am reading Infinite Jest again...

finished the primer section! excited to be past the tables while at the same time i acknowledge their necessity. really just puts into perspective how OVERWHELMING it is to try to get a grasp of any of it. i read every page and i still could barely speak on why HFCFCs are better than CFCs (or what an HFC is [and that's just GFGs]).

really excited to move into the actual stories of people that are vollmann's forte

DNFed this about a year and a half ago as I needed to focus on Les Misérables but I'm back in and liking it even more than I did then.
I will say last time I did go a little insane (q.v. me calculating exactly how many BTUs and KWhs leaving my little lamp on while I slept took up), I do think it's good to have awareness of these things.

"surely war and peace isn't *that* good??"

it is that good.

Specifically reading the Divine Comedy
Now halfway through the Paradiso!
