I just realized that I accidentally ordered the French version of Scott Heim's Mysterious Skin off Amazon which could be one of those pretty arguments for buying books at your local store (not that I could buy that book off any local store, but still, the idea is what matters - read the blurb, not the product description or something). Well, I wanted to work on my French anyways, and at least it's not Italian. Also in the shiny package: Lowboy by John Wray and Daughter of Hounds by Caitlín R. Kiernan (I figured that I could just buy it, after getting it more than twice from the library).

Also: Arcade Fire just released a concept album about suburbs, the place that will forever haunt me and my writing. "Ich will da nicht leben wo es niemals Leben gab" indeed.
