Utz, by Bruce chatwin

A very enjoyable little fiction book about a man living in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War who’s obsessed with collecting porcelain figurines. It kinda has the same vibe as a Werner Herzog fiction like Fitzcarraldo if you’re into that sort of thing. Anyway I think it’s way underrated. Here’s the first page because I feel like you can often tell if you will like a book by reading its first page.

Go gently toward “freedom”

Equally excellent to “The Corrections.” His non fiction is terrific too, eg, “My Bird Problem,” “How To Be Alone,” “Farther Away.” Any writer who loves the Mekons as much as Jonathan does can’t be bad, right? 🎶

dennis cooper

just a delight to read. as much as I love billy burroughs, cooper's awfully brutal in his accusations of him "selling out". also understood the language of the internet far better than a lot of current literature with internet prose does ("The Sluts" is at once shocking and feels like it could've been written yesterday).

i think i have good handwriting maybe

If I had one critique I would say that it is a little too neat and too legible. I need to let loose a bit

friendships based around rituals

I love basing my friendships around things I like to do, and having an allocated person to do that with, also having a process / routine that this thing happens around. Like a tiny religious procession of two. E.g. : one friend is my coffee and a walk friend, another is a person I only exclusively hang out with to eat tacos once a month, a third friend to only go to cinema screenings with, another friend will join me for exercise classes and we usually get dinner afterwards. I like this approach to friendship in general because it’s less pressure to have to come up with new things to do, and if you stagger time well then you always have things to do and people to see.
