“Bookslut.”
That’s the immediate SMS reply I got from Don after I told him (read: bragged) about my newly acquired copy of The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. Well, I can’t say I don’t agree.
Hugo Cabret was not without its companion when I purchased it a few hours ago. According to plan, it was joined by a freshly printed commemorative copy of Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird. Being the indefatigable bookslut that I admittedly am, I’m absolutely open to the idea of a ménage à trois with these two lovelies in the coming days. I guess I should mention that while I’m just about to get to know Hugo Cabret, Mockingbird and I happen to be old pals, having previously done it in the back of a van cruising down Kennon Road seven summers ago.
Spending time with both should be a lot of fun. With any luck, I might even get them to participate in an orgy with me, Ballard (Crash), Winterson (Sexing the Cherry), Easton Ellis (Less Than Zero), Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules), and the rest of the gang.

The Hopi, an Indian tribe, have a language as sophisticated as ours, but no tenses for past, present and future. The division does not exist. What does this say about time? Matter, that thing the most solid and the well-known, which you are holding in your hands and which makes up your body, is now known to be mostly empty space. Empty space and points of light. What does this say about the reality of the world?
