i'm reading "annihilation" by that vandermeer fella, it's pretty neat so far, as contemporary weird horror stuff goes. reading books is good. i'm going to read a book by a russian guy after this book.

My father gave me this book called The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll, a few years ago and I've tried to read it 3 times, and I can't do it. I've gotten further than ever, which is exactly halfway through the book, but NOTHING is happening. I reread Good Omens instead, which I haven't for 15 years or so and my friend lent me her copy. I also have this huge collection of Lovecraft stories, but it's kinda heavy to take around town with me. Gonna stop by the used bookstore on the corner a block away today and pick something up.
