or just go to Eve's Alexandria and proceed from there.
most recently amazed by: The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano and Iron Man.
yes, you heard me. Iron Man. go see it. Robert Downey Jr being Robert Downey Jr, but with cool tech that gives him superpowers. and it's IRON MAN. how cool is that?
currently being amazed by: Painkillers by Simon Ings and by, wouldn't you know it?, Simon Ings himself.
download Painkillers for free here:

Simon Ings needs to be more widely recognized. right now. he has shorts hidden behind marbles over at fisheye and, elsewhere online, you can read Simon Ings's Open Veins, also free (published some years back in OMNI):

Mr Ings's fiction, in brief, is reminiscent of M. John Harrison's, if not quite as opaque and, also, entirely different.
i keep telling people to pick up a copy of his Weight of Numbers, but do they listen...?
