get comfort food to ride out a night without my love in talkie-range.

taco bell, with earl gray tea.

Book - House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (I went into my closet this afternoon and pulled out a few books I'd not read yet, picked up at a used bookstore about a year ago, and promptly forgot). It's a meaty paperback, about as thick as The Stand was, when I had it in the same size. I remember now, why I put it in the closet, as it's a meta-book... where it's a few layers of story deep. little bits or writing on the margin, and so on. it'll give me something to do. I hope it passes the test of 100.

A kitty in lap, or playing milk ring fetch, should be nice too. I'll be burning nag champa, and be bundled in bedding cocoon, sending her my thoughts for her happiness, and comfort.

You should check out the album by his sister Poe. It's called "Haunted" and the liner notes have specific songs to listen to while reading certain passages. Apparently the book was the catalyst for writing the songs.

Nifty. :) When did you read it?

How'd I miss this when it first came out?

All the cool people have read it!

Oh I didn't get to read it I checked it out from the library and had to return it before I finished with it. It's on my list of books to buy. But I listen to the album all the time.

groovy. I'm about 100 in, and it's certainly passed the test.

A clever idea!
