I mean, yes, we’re married, but he was working while I was helping with homework and now that the kids are in bed and I can write he’s finally finished with his work and wants to share every fucking thing that happened to him and yes I care and I want to know but do I have to know right now when I finally have a moment to write?
Also I know Zach once said he recommends a certain Tom Robbins book to everyone…I think it was Jitterbug Perfume.
Oh cool! I don’t know that one, but I know others… I can definitely play around with that. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues was a favorite book of mine for a long time. Thanks for the tip!
I suck a predicting what the guys would read but I know Chris was recently spotted in the airport with The Little Friend by Donna Tartt in hand.
Yeah, I saw that too. I’ll get that one worked in. Thanks though. I don’t necessarily need books the real boys would read…just ones that two friends trying to reconnect might share with each other…
“Ernest Hemingway would have died rather than have syntax. Or semicolons. I use a whole lot of half-assed semicolons; there was one of them just now; that was a semicolon after “semicolons,” and another one after “now.” And another thing. Ernest Hemingway would have died rather than get old. And he did. He shot himself. A short sentence. Anything rather than a long sentence, a life sentence. Death sentences are short and very, very manly. Life sentences aren’t. They go on and on, all full of syntax and qualifying clauses and confusing references and getting old. And that brings up the real proof of what a mess I have made of being a man.”
