>You're an avid reader, what's your favourite book and why?

>I can't narrow it down to a favorite book. Maybe to a favorite list of authors if I were feeling especially pressured, in which case, I'd rattle on about David Foster Wallace and Delillo and McCarthy and Barry Hannah and Sam Lipsyte and Gary Lutz and Adam Levin. I'd devote a significant amount of time to praising everything Gordon Lish has done in the world. I'd tell you to look out for Daniel Long. He's coming. He'll be one of the greats.

Pornstar Kayden Kross has awesome taste.

I agree, but Kayden Cross's thoughts on it changed my perspective. Everyone here should check it out. http://brobible.com/girls/article/our-conversation-with-kayden-kross/

She says porn was going through some weird changes, and out of all the people, they stuck DFW with Max Hardcore... She's a huge DFW fan and seems alright.

Forgetting about everything else for a second (if that's possible for this argument), would the fact that he is an "eschatological moralizer and a complete fucking hypocrite" detract from his thoughts on television and entertainment and weed addiction? Some people say IJ is impenetrable and while I certainly think it's neither clear-cut OR especially deep in the sense that Shakespeare or Joyce or Pynchon can be, but it's a different beast entirely. Without going into it I'd say it's television in literature form. It definitely has plenty to offer.

Also, can you explain "eschatological moralizer."
