"In the end, our society will be defined not only by what we create but by what we refuse to destroy." - John Sawhill

It is difficult
to get the news
from poems
yet men die miserably
every day
for lack
of what is found
there

-William Carlos William


While I am an avid reader, I tend to read specific authors more than random books. My favorite authors include (in no particular order):

Chuck Palahniuk
Bret Easton Ellis
George Saunders
J. Robert Lennon
Kurt Vonnegut
Sherman Alexie
Jon Krakauer


But I will give any book a try. C'mon...I tried to read "Wild Animus."


Peace!
