I have been reading, between the eating and the swimming:

Bolaño's Last Evenings on Earth altered my view on the world, like the critics tell me he ought to. Somehow I still love him. And we've not seen the last of his works. Devoured Gordimer's Beethoven was one sixteenth black, another collection of short stories, also very intriguing. A few gems, one from the perspective of a measuring-tape. Sort of experimental, carefully and painstakingly written. DeLillo surprised me when I read White Noise. Beautiful dialogue, acute observations. Always depressingly funny. That's it, I think? I've lost count.

Hello: I come here browsing the friendslist of the livejournal community godawful_fanfic. So it is likely that you have been a member/watcher of the GAFF forums in the past. I am sending this message to everyone on that list to let them know that a few members have put their heads together to create a new site- most definitely not a replacement, but a site where everyone can still get together. Here it is: http://whygodwhy.org
