    Newspaper Diapers

    Thanks. I ordered it from amazon and got it today. I started it but didn't finish it. It is in fact disturbing, but i'm thinking more like Chuck Palahniuk than Hubert Selby.

    Newspaper Diapers

    Newspaper Diapers. Has anyone heard of this book? It it was recommended to me but I can only find it on-line. I live in Portland and Powell's Books doesn't has any info on it? (This makes me want to read it even more!) It was compared to Hubert Selby's "Last Exit To Brooklyn". I do know this...

    WTF

    Are these for sale? Because I've noticed that Powells Books, here in Portland, has an option for a hard cover of Post Office published by Amereon Limited. Says new, but on backorder. I thought this was some kind of glitch. Hmmmm http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9780848833190-2

    Days run away.....

    I just picked up a used first edition paperback of this book and when I put it up on the shelf I noticed that it's bigger than my other paperbacks. In fact it's as big as my hardbacks. I have a first paperback of burning and it's not that big. Why and when did they start making them smaller...

    nomeansno

    Nomeansno, oh ya! They also do a side project called the hanson brothers. Sounds pretty much like the ramones but if the ramones liked hockey. And if you like nomeansno check out the minutemen. Very similar.

    Favorite line from Buk?

    i think its from factotum where his girlfriends roomate, who walks around the house naked, says about having sex with him. "baby, if i were the last man on earth you'd have to wait in line."
