People might think you're .. up to something, Tao

>> No.3343823

Celebrity doesn't mean what it once did. It's the future, and we're all getting our 15 minutes of Warholish fame. In a land where "reality TV" contestants are celebrities, it's sort of gauche to want to be or to be a celebrity at all.

Sage because this thread is useless.

It has the potential to become a proper Tao Lin thread. What's your favourite work by him? Which of his styles do you prefer the most? What do you think Taipei will be like?

Tao, I made your salad. It was awesome.

Also, how's the teaching life?

I've read Shoplifting, and I'm half way through Richard Yates.
The dynamic in Richard Yates is more interesting in my opinion.
Haley is a really shit person. The thing that sucks me into these books is that my life was like them. I read them and cringe at how I was back then. Therapeutic in a way.
Is E more of the same?
I'm not really into poetry, but do I think I'd enjoy CBT?

Hush. Can you hear that, Tao? Listen carefully. Somewhere in the distance is the faint sound of a bed calling for you. Why don't you go to it.

Why doesn't he go to the sound or the bed?
You could learn a thing or two from Tao.

It's the bed doing the calling.
