By Night in Chile
Just a quick confession on how inattentive a reader i can be. In diving into Roberto Bolano's By Night in Chile, i went thirty pages before i realized that the book is not divided into paragraphs of chapter.
30 pages... i'd like to believe this is because i was enthralled by Bolano's writing, but it's more likely that i'm just a space cadet. I'm kicking myself tonight, as i accidentally left it at Kat's place, and i want to read it more than the dozens of other books in progress, or the three that arrived in the mail today. All i can think about concerning books is Father Sebastian's quest with falconry, as it was on the verge of making a statement in that arc of thought. It's surprisingly different in tone than Last Evenings on Earth if only because it's not so transparently autobiographical.

Hi Frog!
This is Son Of Spam from the old Model Citizen...Zero Disclipline blog.
Frog, would you be kind enough to shoot me Vol. 8 of your 80s Nuggets? I managed to retrieve all previous volumes after my hard drive crashed except for that one.
I'd really appreciate it, buddy!
BTW: last time we messaged each other you said you had been working on further volumes but it got rather repetitive and tedious. I was kind of making impromptu Volumes 9 & 10 if you'd be interested in having them once they're complete.
