I Made This List Of Stuff That

I Believe In Choosing The Hardest Book Imaginable. I Believe In Reading Up On What Others Have To Say About This Difficult Book, And Then Making Up My Own Mind.

So While It Is True That I Find Really Dark Stuff Funny Sometimes, It's Also True That As A Writer Of Books I Want To Have The Whole Range Of Human Emotions.

I Made This List Of Stuff That It's Time For Me To Try To Do.

Updike Worked This Way, And I Just Kinda Borrowed It From Him. So The Memoir Will Be Relief From Novel Writing For A Moment.
