it's an opportunity. show you have taste.

this is the best book i read all year

excellent novel that i almost didn't finish because of the stupid interviews. the ending made me actually enjoy reading again, though, which doesn't happen very often.

The Savage Detectives. It made me realize what I actually liked about literature: exciting locations and stories about characters I cared about because they were cool and had principles. it is the antidote to infinite jest, something truly in the tradition of the classics. also the ending with the knife fight was the most exciting thing i have read since the knife fight in all the pretty horses
