About me
If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about?
I go on a quest for something really simple, like blue pants or a perfect scented candle, and it turns into the fucking Holy Grail trying to find something I like.
Besides SMITH, I read stories at:
Salon.com
Nerve.com
In bed I like to read:
Delicious nonfiction like Judith Thurman or Thomas Cahill.
My favorite story of all time is:
Anything by Wodehouse.
Right now, I'm reading:
Robert Fagles' amazing translation of The Odyssey.
