a few months ago my friend bean told me to read your book.
finally, last wednesday, i acquire 'godspeed' and read it continuously for
five hours. [only breaking for potato salad and tampon changes]
i read over two hundred pages.
thursday - twenty / thirty pages.
i was at the point where i didn't want the book to finish [something that
happens to me anytime i read a book that i enjoy tremendously]. my plan was
to read the last page and start over.
friday night came.
i went to a show.
i threw beer on my friends
we shoved our hands down our pants and slapped each other in the face.
we stumble to my car.
and that is when i find out that some stupid cunt-rag crackhead robbed me.
they took stupid shit like my cd player and cds................but the worst
blow was that they took my bag. my bag that i carried my sketch books, my
icelandic phrase book, and 'godspeed' in.
i was thirty fucking pages away from finishing.
i have literary blue balls.
bean told me to write a review about 'godspeed' on amazon. but, i figured i
would write to you first. i'm not sure when i'll be able to get another
copy for her, and one for me [hopefully this weekend], but i wanted to tell
you that i thoroughly enjoy your novel. it's not everyday that i sit for
five hours, entranced in a novel. [usually it's only two or three].
it made my eyebones hurt. in a good way.
thus is my short story.
filled with happiness, drama, sadness, and lack of satisfaction for my brain
bullets.
bang. bang.
and so, i thank you and bid you au revoir.
-miss e
ps. both bean and i agree that you should come to austin. for no reason in
particular.
