I’ve read most of his books twice since, yeah, total misanthrope and I’m sure we’d have nothing to talk about other than birds. But the man knows how to tell a story, and wow he does a number on dysfunctional families.

feeling depressed insomniac constipated nauseous? you can always buy a supplement about it. does it have a name like a russian spacecraft? was it harvested in the gobi desert? good signs. you might be missing a precious amino and you don’t even know.
