Comments on The Sad Literary Leavings of Slog Happy

The Donald Hall book looks interesting. If you'd rather mail it off in exchange for a short review (for those of us who can't make Slog, like, say, me) than have it go to the Island of Misfit Books, drop me an e-mail. :D

when will the stranger print a long list of reviews that only have two words like: "Shit sandwich" or "literary rape"

I'll take the near death in the mtns if I can pick it up at the stranger world HQ munday...?

I must have missed Unpacking the Boxes, which appeals to me more than a book of Midwestern poetry that I ended up with. I took my fair share, though, grabbing two other books in need of good homes. Reviews forthcoming.

Those of us who have experienced near death in the mountains don't have any great interest in reading about it, from my personal viewpoint.

And those who are unlikely to experience it, probably are a bit squeamish, I think.

I'll take Literary Allusions for $500, BA.

I fear my book is basically Ferngully for young ladies, but I'm still excited to read it.

How DID you do it?

Mikki, that book is literary rape.

Bellevue Ave, is it literary cute rape?

hahaha, yes, yes it is.

@6: Did you seriously pick up Girlwood? Yikes.

I did, but it was toward the end and I had already had tons of beer, and I didn't read the back until I got home. I just said "I want something for young adults please" and that was the only one left. Unfortunately, I hated Ferngully.

Bellevue Ave, that is the best kind!

@1 Cow: Send me an e-mail, and I'll mail you the book.

@3: Randy: Send me an e-mail on Monday reminding me to put the book upstairs with our receptionist and you can have it.

I love it when a plan comes together.

I got Allen Ginsberg's letters, which I'm assuming will have lots of material not fit for polite company.

Also, something involving werewolves and something else with Lord Byron and a love triangle.

I'll race all all yallz for the first review.

*all. Poopstain.

I almost picked up Girlwood.

So that's who got it.

I hope the werewolf book isn't as bad as it looked.

Isn't "Near Death in the Mountains" just a list of honorable-mentions for the Darwin Awards?

@2,

Don't forget "syntax holocaust," a SLOG coinage, if I'm not wrong.

Mr. Poe, you'll be too busy having hot man sex this weekend, so I'll totally take you up on the challenge. Thanks for giving up the Greg Bear, you can have it when I'm finished with it.

At the last minute, when I was too drunk to know better, a couple more books jumped into my bag. So, apparently I will be reading about a guy who frequents a toothless street hooker and a woman who has imaginary conversations with Paul Newman.

I want that book. (I'll actually read that one.)

I totally didn't take a book. Oops. What can I say, I've got a lot on my reading slate. And now with possibly another drunken book club? I'm going to have to start drinking at work to fit everything in.

another drunken book club?

you mean there are two?
