what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

I read his essay Exchange Rate in The Gettysburg Review and started to look for more and then I found his book

at my local independent bookstore I got the one and only copy they had when I snagged it off the to-be-shelved cart before they could shelve it alphabetically in the literary essay section 

your local library has ordered a copy but it's so new it hasn't even arrived yet

when I can read something at 6:15am while standing up with rain-soaked socks on a crowded train and it takes me to another place that's good. this Monson guy is good. when I say read I mean look at words printed on paper as in bound printed matter not on some electronic doo-dad device

you won't hear this song the same way after you read Exchange Rate

Gonna grab this from Powell’s tomorrow.

Case followed through just like he said he would

I’m reading this right now and loving it. Thanks for the recommendation!

howdy Foster. I'm kinda still reading it too. I put it down for a bit but I took it on the train today and got some more out of it. This Monson guy is someone I'd like to take a long road trip with if I had to take a long road trip. Or someone I'd like to take a writing class with. cheers
