People who only read Catcher, and loved it. Rampant adoration and sadness, without any critique.
People who only read Catcher, and hated it. ‘Get over it’, assuming that his value / reputation is summed up in Holden Caulfield.
People who read the Glass family stories. I have trouble imagining anyone reading his short story work, and still being able to reduce the man to Catcher in...
“I had never been to Chicago, but I knew one or two boys who went to Chicago...”

The Bell Jar was the only book that has depressed me in a lasting way. It was beautiful, and masterfully written, but...
F*ck Social Networks, Make Friendships →
The world is built on unanswered questions. In searching for truth, I inevitably build myself at the expense of the mystery and wonder of the world.
Fair trade.

I'm listening to 'Pop Song for Us Rejects'
and remembering just how fantastic this song actually is. This isn’t an experience that someone could have had even a decade ago - having so much music, from so many different points in their life, available to play accidentally that they could shuffle/stumble into a song they loved once.
I suppose it could have happened on the radio, but if memory serves, this was an album track, not a...

OF COURSE I’M RIGHT. Gentlemen? Am I right or am I right?

the thank you post
melissa:
The biggest thank you to carlo, who responded to our call for a camera, unselfishly made it clear what we needed was him, and leapt right in with us for an all-day shoot to come out with what feels like two minutes inside the book that isn’t done yet.

[Asked by Leno what the best prank he ever pulled was] “The best prank I ever pulled was I told a guy that—five years from now—I’m gonna give you my show. And then when the five years came, I gave it to him, and then I took it back almost instantly.”

deepr asked: I'm not Jemaine.
I also heard through the grapevine, that you're a lightweight drinker. What do you have to say to these allegations?
