Amazing, thank you. I love the part where he asks about his stance on church burning and he's like, 'Duh, pro. Burn that shit.'

Didn't want to keep the side conversation going on the Tracey Fraction post...Anyway, Ed Koch is a classic! He can be such a loon. His review of Super Bad sticks out...

I just saw what your Power Rangers comment yesterday was referring to. Now I feel silly.

"Max Barry, Craig Clevenger, Douglas Coupland, Mark Danielewski."
Barry and Clevenger are quick reads - I was able to finish all of their books in a few days. Coupland takes a bit longer, and Danielewski is very time consuming.
I'd start with Clevenger. Both of his books are awesome, but I'd read The Contortionist's Handbook first and then Dermaphoria.
For Barry, I'd go with either Jennifer Government or Syrup and then Company.
Coupland has a lot of books and I've only read a couple (actually just started one this morning). I would read Jpod by him...
Danielewski's books are both great, but require a lot of time and concentration because they are utterly mind-fucking. House of Leaves is the better and more challenging of the two, but Only Revolutions is great as well. Reading House of Leaves is a true accomplishment.

I just finished a book by Arthur Nersesian called The Fuckup, which I loved. Takes place in NYC in the 80s when it was a shithole...it's like the antithesis of American psycho. 80s NYC through a fuckup's perspective instead of a yuppie's.
Beyond that, here are some of my favorite authors, some of which I'm sure you know...let me know which ones you're not familiar with and I'll suggest individual books.
Chuck Palahniuk, Irvine Welsh, Alex Garland, Bret Easton Ellis, Max Barry, Craig Clevenger, Douglas Coupland, Cormac McCarthy, Mark Danielewski.
..and a couple of authors who've only written one book, but whose one book I love: Steven Hall, Monica Drake,

@TheHonJudgeSmails:
Yeah, but metaphorically I'm riding the Cloverfield monster and waving a gigantic sword in the air as I battle King Ghidorah.
i mean, that's how i feel about my morning coffee and cigarette.

Instantly, the photographer turned to stone.
In a coincidental twist, that is also what happens when she looks at Rupert's "Media Measuring Stick."

mitchel_stevens commented on Stuff Roommate People Like, at 10:43 AM on May 8
I remember for an april fool's, I went to Chinatown and bought three or four prawns since my then-roommate was allergic to shellfish.
The joke would involve cooking them for a fishy smell to line our single living environment and make him think I had hidden them around the place.
I got home, turned on the stove, put on the frying pan and dumped the suckers in.
I then learned they were still alive.

She's like the Sasha Grey of Pseudo Indiewood.

Vlad hypothesizes and I concur:
The Wachowskis are the guys who you bring in to do the awesome action sequence.
Otherwise, they can't handle plot or dialog for shit.
