I just finished Ham on Rye by Bukowski. I loved it, and I love Bukowski. He's crass, rude, and obnoxious. And he writes hella short chapters. I like that. I don't think it's a short attention span thing, I just like my novels in comfortable bite sizes. You sit down to read Bukowski, and you know even if you only have a minute where you're going to end up, at a nice chapter break. Hell, sometimes there's more than one nice stopping point within a chapter. You don't have to make a huge commitment of time. And if you do wanna sit there for awhile it feels like the chapters just fly by and you're reading really fast and it gives me a nice satisfied feeling.

This is why I fucking hate Pratchett. (Not really hate, but c'mon. Jesus.) One long string of words Bastard.

It's really "Ham on Rye: A Novel". A novel huh? I never would have guessed, it's a good thing they pointed that out! I think all of the books in

docbrite's Liquor series do that too. It's amusing, at least to me, because if you're picking up a book in the first place, you're literate and know what you're dealing with. And if you can't read, it doesn't make much difference anyway.

I should probably read more short stories.

I just got a package from microsoft. Windows Home server, beta 2. Oh boy.
