What are you reading this summer?

Nope. His victory over Pat Brown on 1966 was based on his intention to clean up “the mess at Berkeley.” The end.

Who are you SI Haywakawa? Nope. Fear of Watts was a bigger factor.

How can you read shit like that in the summer, OP?

I recently discovered Steve Martini, so I've been going through his books. He wrote the characters I wanted to write when I was thinking about a book based on me and my best friend from law school.

Right now: Paul Newman:A Life, The Perfect Ride by jockey Gary Stevens, Winter Kills by Condon, The Most Dangerous Place On Earth, Wonder Valley, Lies My Mother Never Told Me by James Jones daughter, Nothing But A Circus by David Levin, The Misbegotten Son, 63 Documents The Government Doesnt Want You To Read by Jessie Ventura (I know, and terribly edited), rereading What Really Happened to The Class Of 65, The Last Picture Show.

Small Pleasures, which I believe was recommended here, and the Sue Mengers biography.

Skavoj Žižek’s How to Read Lacan. I need to know why we’re us.

Slavoj, not Skavoj.

Hamilton Heights and Sugar Hill by Davida Siwisa James

The Shards.
