also, i finished reading dave eggers's 'a heartbreaking work of staggering genius' this morning. phenomenal. he writes so vibrantly, so real, so inclusively that it's hard not become emotionally invested in even his most trivial thoughts and actions. and it's the understated moments that cut deepest, his anger and almost innocent hope, and always that underlying fury, feeding him, polarising his opinions. his work is heartbreaking and staggering and genius. it's so good, i mean so fucking good. you have to read it. you must. you owe it to yourself and to the author. he is owed.
