Keep cool but care. Leaving traces of my bookish compulsions around the internet. Find me on YouTube, Instagram, Substack, and an assortment of Podcasts. Seth

D. Keith Mano's 'Take Five' This shit is WEIRD. It reads like Luke Reinhardt high on off-brand amphetamines and James Joyce at his most pleonastic free associative state smashed together in a martini shaker. I think I love it. https://t.co/ZKITugoIKd

@malckelly Same book, alternate title that came to be in a later edition. Similar to how Mary Shelly's major work can either be referred to as "Frankenstein" or "Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus" depending which edition you have.

@AvnerLandes Alright I'll bite: Dan Brown. "Deception Point" is a nail biter and I'll read that shit in a single sitting every time I pick it up. Not Capital-L Literature by any means, but still enjoyable as hell.

ICYMI, @george_salis published a stellar interview with @MarkdeSilva1 on The Collidescope Patreon, which is well worth the price of admission. Critical reading for anyone who's recently picked up a copy of THE LOGOS. https://t.co/y1BTmLInfC

Arno Schmidt

For those unfamiliar, 'THE SCHOOL FOR ATHEISTS: A Novella = Comedy in 6 Acts' is one of the few Schmidt books still in print. Moreover, it's one of Schmidt's three major typoscripts, along with 'BOTTOM'S DREAM' and 'EVENING EDGED IN GOLD'. https://t.co/E427RP9n8b https://t.co/vOR5uPjOZS https://t.co/GGoH91msQk

Don Delillo

No, I'm not going to delude myself into think I can reverse engineer a point of influence here. It does however, immediately remind me of the Mooney wedding in Delillo's MAO II, and that continually resonant line, "our future belongs to crowds".
