I try to read everything I get my hands on. A few quick favorites. Nelson Algren, Clive Barker, Elmore Leonard, Andrew Vachss, Jim Thompson, Hunter S Thompson, Nick Hornby, Neil Gaiman, Arthur Nersesian, Melissa Hansen, Jonathan Ames, Donald Westlake/Richard Stark, Tristan Egolf, John Kennedy Toole, Irvine Welsh, John Irving, Chuck Palahniuk, Cormac McCarthy, Larry McMurtry, Charles Bukowski, James Ellroy, Avram Davidson, Michael Chabon, Henry Miller, Russell Banks, and Stephen King.

Heroes
every person who's ever had to endure the misery of a shitass job to put bread on the table, living paycheck to paycheck, hoping his or her children will have a better life... and Charlie Manson.

Haha, we're screwed! Commenting is boring too. I stumbled upon two guys beating the hell out of each other on TV now, but they look like a couple of ferries and that's really fuckin annoying...You should see them hop! There isn't even a single thing I can think of right now that I want to do...I think this is why men commit crimes...but I don't even want to do that!
Jesus Christ, I haven't been this bored on a friday for quite some time. Can't look at the faces on the TV. The vid games are old. The word is hiding in an elephants tusk (poachers are becoming poets). The beer is all right though, I will say the beer is all right. Nose is getting round. Koweski, do yuh hear me!?
