I read Marbury in about 24 hours, I think: it was one of those books you don't want to stop, as much as there were parts where I had to look away and compose myself. It was incredibly disturbing, and so real--in the awful running through the wastelands, but also in the human bonds on both ends. I don't understand how you do it. Such different books too, and yet all clearly from the same vision, and all investigating the same things--learning to be independent, I suppose, and the bare terror of life. Such perfect love stories too. Pretty amazing. It was all I could talk about while I was reading it, by the way--mostly the intense f'ed upness. Those ties he put on his own ankle...sick, but genius.

And, of course...
