Did I seek where the wind bites keenest, learn to live where no one lives, in the desert where only the polar bear lives, unlearn to pray and curse, unlearn man and god, become a ghost flitting across the glaciers? You did Friedrich, you did.

Review of American Pilgrim by #RooshV. He's gone completely off the grid, so I can't send it to him. goodreads.com/review/show/60…

A charming, funny novel set in suburban New Zealand. Written in the vein of Bukowski and Orwell, the NZ postal service has never been so entertaining.

Reading Burma Sahib by Paul Theroux. Not a bad AI generated (?) cover.

Smoko: "A remarkable insight into the power imbalances and the casual exploitation that exist in all modern workplaces."

@otherppl @PaulTheroux_ @MarinerBooks Excellent interview and it seems to be the only one he's given about Burma Sahib?

@donlachlan Thank you, no hurry, BTW did you design cover for your latest? I like it. Did you decide on yellow covers from the beginning to stand out from crowd?

George #Orwell's colleague Georges Kopp drew a diagram of the wound and sent it to Orwell's brother-in-law, a thoracic surgeon, in Britain. Orwell's account: rjgeib.com/thoughts/soldi…

AWESOME AUTHOR FACT #1 On May 20, 1937, George Orwell was shot through the neck by a Fascist sniper while fighting in the Spanish Civil War. Miraculously, he survived, the bullet somehow missing both his carotid artery and spine by millimetres.
