0011am. there is not much to say these eleven minutes past midnight. i got an online voucher for Waterstone's (a bookstore) today, and that makes me able to buy my own book this weekend. a book with my own money. i haven't done that in a while because i don't even get money here. but this week i happen to have £6 and with my voucher, i can buy a book with that money.
so many ways to begin by jon mcgregor is a book i've been dying to read for a long time and two weekends ago i found it in a little corner of the bottom bookshelf. it was a wonderful moment finally being within vicinity of the book.
that said, i must link back to the excerpt i posted that is from his first book, if nobody speaks of remarkable things.

please read it. it's beautiful.
i attempted to press a leaf with regular plastic the other day but failed. anyhow, i stuck it in my moleskine. it's a dark red now, but when i picked it up on the road it was a beautiful red orange, just fallen from a tree. without a scratch.

ReplyDeleteso many months has gone by since that first comment string on that first excerpt i read from you. :)
ReplyDeletedunno yet. but i flipped through the pages and i liked it :) and he keeps the intense voice, which i absolutely adore. expect excerpts once i start reading it. hopefully tomorrow. (!!!!!!!!!!!)
ReplyDeletesometimes i wish i got the other cover of Remarkable... just because it has flying birds on it. hahaha. but yeah. ok lang. the copy i have now has sentimental value.
our relationship began with a question! how brilliant is that! i remember thinking, Wow, this question isn't "where are you from" or "what's your name".
ReplyDeleteit was, "how do you chew on so much detail?" and i love details. love it. we're so cool. and i'm beginning to ramble. i'll stop na.
