About me I'm a 29-year-old novice writer of mostly short fiction living in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. When I'm not reading, writing or exercising I'm finding new places near the city to eat, watching movies or spending time with my friends and/or pets. Lately I've been trying to get more outdoor time in, and I've picked up the sport/hobby/activity/obsession of geocaching. I honestly don't think there's enough time in a day for everything I'd like to accomplish.

About my library Currently reading: Ghostwritten, Pinball, 1973

Most of my library right now consists of translated Japanese novels, comics and nonfiction, because that's what I've been buying within the last year. The rest of my books, saved since about middle school, are predominantly horror. I spent most of my childhood and young adulthood reading horror nearly exclusively, and as a short story writer I cut my storytelling teeth on the genre as well. Most of those books are in storage, tucked lovingly away until the day comes that I have enough shelf space to display them again.

A lot of experimental writing doesn't work well in anything much longer than a short story. (Sayanora worked, in part, by breaking everything into little pieces, a common experimental gambit.) Anyhow, The Feverhead, which I read only recently, might be worth checking out if you are looking for an experimental/bizarre and still readable short (!) novel. Also, you can find it cheap, $3.99 or so, plus shipping, on alibris or amazon.
I read Sayanora, Gangsters over the last few days. No one does absurd like the Japanese! I liked the middle, poetry school, section the best. Thanks for the recommendation.
Lit reading tonight, see Josh Cohen Reading at Kiva Han
I have been looking for some help, actually, what aspects would you be interested in helping with? Are you involved with any of the publishing scenes in town--comics, zines, poetry, etc.?

Thank you for asking!
Thank you for the comment about the NaNo guide book! I hope it helps you next year. It was fun to write!
