now, some book recommendations:
the illusion of the end by jean baudrillard (wacky, food for thought)
the eye by vladimir nabokov (despersonalization, russian humor)
pornotopia: architecture and sexuality in playboy during the cold war by paul b preciado (surprisingly fun, revealing)
sombrero fallout by richard brautigan (sad, hilarious)
in praise of shadows by junichiro tanizaki (old man yells at cloud, kind of has a point)
wise blood by flannery o'connor (depressing, funny)
for those who simply don't have the time:
why don't you dance? (short story) by raymond carver (lovely, melancholic)
endgame (short story) by j g ballard (suspenseful, thrilling)
talking in bed (poem) by philip larkin (my favourite ever)
enough (poem) by emily dickinson (my second favourite ever)
ash wednesday part 1 (poem) by t s eliot (my third favourite ever)
drinking alone under the moon (poem) by li bai (my fourth favourite ever)
quotes living rent-free in my mind:
"that old feeling is still in my leaking heart" (william s. burroughs)
"I am a cage in search of a bird" (franz kafka)
