so-soThere is something oddly compelling to Burroughs‘ writing. His central character (and surrogate) is unlikeable, predatory, self-centred and desperate but I do feel sorry for him in some ways. 6/10

Sipping a Sam Adams Summer Ale, listening to “ Carry On” playlist in this broken world, preparing to charcoal grill cheeseburgers on this 4th of July afternoon. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🌎✌🏻🍔🍺🎶
“…O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath—
America will be!
Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain—
All, all the stretch of these great green states—
And make America again!“

🩵 I love how my bestie and I fall into our old rhythms so easily.
🩵 Went thrifting with my bestie and scored The Complete Poems and Plays of TS Eliot for $2
🩵 GOOD TROUBLE
🩵 I'm so grateful for the litsy community. Y'all are so supportive and smart and amazing!
🩵 I'm grateful to myself this week for recognizing my limits AND taking steps to make sure I take time to rest. It's hard for me, and I'm proud of myself.

pickNot bad short novel of a picaresque black man involved with an illegal slave ship who take a mystical tribe captive. Reminds me somewhat of Ring Shout. Some magic realism and a gruesome survival story.
so-soI found this at my local library and picked it up for its art deco style. These are three novels “told in pictures.” The artwork is beautiful. God‘s Man was solid, but the other two became a bit convoluted in terms of understanding their plots. It was a way to pass twenty minutes while waiting in line at the DMV. 😴👴☠️
