No set without Gogol is worth having!

What absolute cock-jockery. Fashion du jour for the pasty, corduroy wearing, duffle coated, be-spectacled, Joyce quoting tosser in you.
Bill Hicks once told of how a waffle waitress saw him reading a book and asked him ‘what you reading for?’ His reply was ’so I don’t end up as a fucking waffle waitress’. Now I realize it should’ve been the other way around. I’m buring all my books and applying for a job in McDonalds just to redress the inbalance the existence of these badges causes the world… or am i just missing the irony of post modern iconoclastic humour thus denoted by the connotations on offer here?

Why old russians? Such a big yawn to read.
Would have been more fun with a few contemporaries - JC Oates, Paul Auster, Don DeLillo…
Or just some irony: Stephen King, Grisham, Ben Elton and whatshisname Copeland (life after god etc, true semi-philosophical drivel for dummies).

If only there was a song by the Decemberists that began: “My father was an ill-fated Russian novelist…”
