I have in my possession Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, which of them should I read first?

Can we get a Pale King thread going?

I'm remembering the first chapter and recall being impressed and inspired in a very odd, protean way. I wasn't entirely sure what was meant by it, but it achieved a very unique effect. It gave me a sense of being in two places at once, like I was both on the ground and on a plane flying overhead. He describes things that could only be seen from up high (flannel plains) and things that could omly be seen from the ground (shoe imprint on the grass) then there's that prase injected almost randomly in, 'we are all of us brothers'.

What do you make of this?
