The Game

[Brett]

Anybody ever read 'The Game' by Neil Strauss?

[mccutcheon]

No I never read it, but Adam Davies, the guy who did the Frog King, has a new book out called Goodbye Lemon. You turned me on to him. But I'm still not sure if he turns me on. I think he is very good at prose, but I can't get into his dialouge. It makes me cringe at times.

Check out 'Busted Flush' by Brad Smith, great book. My brother has me reading 'Perv, a love story'. So far so good.

[mccutcheon]

Thanks. I'll check them out.

[Brett]

When do I get a copy of your book?

[mccutcheon]

when you buy one asshole!

email me at mccutcheon@nycscribbles.com with your address. I still need to send one to Borgy. I'm bad that way.

Martino is in town. we have been hitting it.

Brett I hope you know my 'zany style' enough by now that you know I jest!! send me an email and I'd love to send you and kim two books.

[Brett]

I know all about your zany style. I have just had a real busy/shitty couple of weeks. One of my best friends, a guy who coached me in baseball and I coached with for the last 5 years saw fit to fling himself off of the Second Narrows bridge just before Halloween. He also had just had his first book published and I never got to tell him how much I enjoyed reading it. I'm still in shock mixed with a very unhealthy dose of anger. I'll send you my address from home tonight, I would love to read a book written by a friend and have the chance to tell him how much I liked it.

[mccutcheon]

brett,

i'm very sorry to hear that.

It sucks when people kill themselves, but it's completely understandable why they do so.

Some people are too sensitive to live in this world. I would like to read the book as well. Is it available?

This Joy Division lyric I kept hearing in my head today.
