I Run From Bears | Reading List →
I’m often asked to recommend reading material. At one point I was posting a “Required Reading” series but I stopped for one reason or another. I’ve decided that I’m going to bring back my required reading series and I’ve made a page to collect all of my suggestions into one reading list. Have a look at it and feel free to submit suggestions using the submit...

n+1 redesigned their website and is now offering up full issues online. This is awesome! and I will continue subscribing. This sort of thing makes me want to fork over ~$30. I am not kidding, giving free stuff away is sort of like asking me to hand over my check book.

It wasn’t until I moved back to the States that I realized how much I had missed the way Americans talk, especially in small towns. I liked the pacing of their stories, and I liked being able to pick up the nuances of the language. Once when I visited my parents in Missouri, I took a shuttle bus from the airport, and the driver was a South Carolinian with a huge white beard...

Nourishment is something I’ve been thinking about lately and good creative work’s aptitude to provide it. And, sadly, how seldom it occurs. I suppose it makes it more special when we find something that...

The weekend I spent reading
It is no secret that I love to read. It is also no secret that I love Mexican food. And brownies. And beer. So, that’s pretty much what I did this weekend.
Read
I finished reading Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself by David Lipsky. It was…I don’t even know how to explain it. It isn’t really a book, a novel; it’s just one giant, continuous interview. It...

There is only one other person here and she sits next to me. I’m pretty sure she won’t tell on me if I read while I wait for all these really fucking slow systems to process my shit.

Charge them, not me. Your services are free for me, right? Always, right?
