When I check books out, the library people must take quick note of the books I have previous fines from over two years standing and laugh, and laugh, and laugh (quietly, to themselves):
Measure of value : the story of the D'Arcy Island Leper Colony / Chris Yorath.
Death notebooks. / Anne Sexton
Awful rowing toward God / Anne Sexton.
Feeling good : the new mood therapy / David D. Burns ; preface by Aaron T. Beck.
Isn’t that a fantastic little character-telling list? That LAST title is the perfect culmination. It was, of course, recommended to me by my shrink at the time. He thought I’d hate it because of its bright yellow cover. He was right. I also hated the Case Histories. Obnoxiously close to home, and therefore useless to me. Anyway, I owe 19 dollars, so I'm good for take-off.

i want to link to you via my web page... do you mind if i put your name next to it, or would you prefer not? DON'T worry a) it's not there now and b) i'm in no rush.
did you knock one back before you came to the WRIT festival? you read outstandingly and you're usually so quiet.
Posted by: Chris at June 4, 2005 10:13 AM--- You can link me, but under no circumstances should you use my name, first or last.
---I did not knock on back before. Why would I? It was the first reading I did sober in as long as I remember.
---I am a trained reader. That's what I do: I give readings. I've been giving reading since I was 12.
---I find it an insult that you consider me quiet. I am hardly quiet. Anyone who knows me at all wouldn’t agree.
don't mind me, I'm just brilliantly hungover.
ahaha!
