finished Water for Elephants--meh. ok story.
Now am reading Mark Doty's Dogs' Years---it's killing me softly. It really is. PS--no, I am NOT gay. Though there's nothing wrong with being gay.

Isn't it amazing how some of the best writers have such completely fucked up lives. Dreiser was a bit of a fraud in that his characters were much more tragic than he was. Compared to Poe and Lovecraft, his life was a cakewalk. I'm assuming that the title refers to his works and not his personal biography?
