Nick Hornby and One of My All-Time Favorite Quotes
Check this out. One of my all-time favorite quotes from one of my all-time favorite authors, Nick Hornby:
How do people, like, not curse? How is it possible? There are all these gaps in speech where you just have to put a "fuck." I'll tell you who the most admirable people in the world are: newscasters. If that was me, I'd be like, "And the motherfuckers flew the fucking plane right into the Twin Towers."

The Michael Ondaatje Rave ("Divisadero" Is Magnificento!)
in
I just finished Michael Ondaatje's latest book, "Divisadero", last night and it was, like all of his books, fantastic. He certainly makes us wait a long time between novels, but when they finally do come out they're never disappointing. The man's writing is simply mesmerizing, mysterious, magical and moving (and, why the hell not, magnificent, marvelous and majestic too).
