I'm in moco.

I picked up infinite jest mostly because I wanted better book-reading discipline, not really was I looking for good literature (although I know it's an important text). Took me about a month to get through The Godfather because it dragged on about hardly-relevant shit so I'd just put it down for weeks at a time. I'm probably going to go for an English Degree so I figured I should learn how to get through long and potentially boring books. Infinite Jest seemed like It'd be good for that but so far I haven't gotten to any sections that are repellingly-boring. It's an extremely well-known novel as well, not just a meme on here.

Tryst is pretty cool (north of Dupont), same with Filter (block outside Dupont), and La Colombe (9th and N).

Yeah everyone smokes weed in como. My friend's family owns Hideaway and MN Legit. I went to check out their warehouse one day where they make all the glass. I then understood why they call it "legit." They are going to be filthy rich if weed becomes legal in mn.

And I think I've had Vescio's catering but cannot remember going inside. Worth checking out? I'd recommend Potters myself. Pasties are God level.

Random lit related question.. Do you ever exchange books via those birdhouse things all over the city? I've gotten a few gems from them.

I like to look through them but I'd feel like a dick taking one since I've got money to buy books.
And I fantasize about putting a book into one but I'm so very stingy with my collection (even though I have way too many).
There was a thing a while back where someone was trying to make those illegal for some reason.

I think MN Legit and Hideaway are probably better off with weed the way it is. You can have way more weed than anyone needs for personals here without it being a felony. It isn't even a felony to sell if you have under 2 ounces. Once it does become legal, they'll fuck that up for a little while, just like they did with medical.

And yeah, Vescio's has this thing called a sausage Tony sandwich, it's like a sausage on toast with provolone that you dip on their dank tomato sauce. Shit is bomb. My dad turned me on to them; that place has been around forever.

Not sure if this is a joke or if you just meant that you spent a bit of time on each of those books but there's absolutely no way you properly read all of them.

My reading time has all but disappeared lately. I used to read at least an hour or two a day. Now, barely even a few pages before bed. I lost power yesterday after a storm and read 60 or so pages of Anna Karenina and that was probably the most I've read at one time in over a year.

Books and Books in Miami Beach or Coral Gables is pretty good. Across from the Books and Books in CG is a vintage bookshop, as well. It's on the corner of Aragon and whatever the western N/S cross-street is, in that 1920s commercial building. There's also the Bookstore in the Grove (Coconut Grove). I do understand your feeling, though--there's very few good bookstores around besides, I'd say, Books and Books. Everybody else has gone out of business. Same goes for record stores (though there's one exceptional one in Olympia Heights). There's not even a specialty audio place in all of Miami, which is unbelievable. There used to be a plethora of this stuff in Coconut Grove, but it's all disappeared due to carpetbagging New Yorkers and South Americans that think, "Oh, this is Miami! There's mansions everywhere! We should charge $20,000 a month for this small commercial space that cost that much to build!" Thusly, all the small, artsy, hole-in-the-wall shops and watering holes have been cast to oblivion. I just moved to Coconut Grove from another part of Florida and it is very disheartening to see how little is left from the artsy days of the Grove.

I had read most of the three Dufour books over the course of the last two years, decided to actually read every word.

I have several amateur novellas sitting on my hard drive (in french obviously) about a nameless character who commits acts of necrophilia, zoophilia and all sorts of unthinkable crimes. My knowledge of anatomy and physiology enables me to describe gruesome things in such a way that a layman would need to google many of the nouns and verbs I use, which is intended ; the mental stress of deciphering a sentence word by word and slowly unveiling horrors to the eye of the mind is unique, and few writers have given me this kind of feel.

I personally think it's pretty shit for the time being (can post some of my favorite parts if anyone is interested) but I just email the WIP anonymously to random people I know. None of them has yet made the connexion with me.

Is that so? Rest in piece, then. What a shame. Hopefully something worthy takes its spot. Coral Gables has suffered the same problem as the Grove--speculative buyers have pushed all the local businesses out of the market. Perhaps we'll see something neat come out of the Edgewater or Wynwood area one of these days.
