I definitely buy more books than I read… I think we have high hopes for more books than we can possibly read. It’s like phone numbers. I have phone numbers for people I had some interaction with once three years ago still in my phone but I don’t delete them. It’s hope. We want to maintain friendships with more people than we can possibly find time to interact with on a regular basis. It’s the same with books.

How high can you jump?
I don’t know.
Why are you so negative right now?
I’m negative because I don’t know how high I can jump?
You’re negative because look at your face.
I’m sick of my face.

When I was a kid I loved movies, but if I didn’t finish a movie in one sitting, I’d just start it over again, and maybe I never made it all the way to the end. I liked the exposition. I like watching the story get set up and complicated, but I hated when the story got resolved.

A feature of this post-Postmodern era no one seems to have a name for is that emotions and analysis of how they are evoked can simultaneously exist within the same prose substance, and do not have to be polarized anymore.
missed this when it went up, but Adam Novy writes about Rachel Glaser. good stuff!
