As today’s main entry might suggest, I’ve been reading Oblivion of late. I’m a little over halfway through, and I absolutely love it. Screw Walter Kirn; he’s wrong. Period.

Feels like I stumbled out of a forest and into a clearing and the sun’s very hot and there’s all these people who came out of the forest before me and they sort of turn around and look in my direction and are kind of like, I don’t know, unsympathetic , even though they once came out of the forest just the same. And yeah, the forest’s a scary place, dark, cold, full of strange noises, but you know what, I think I’m gonna head back in.
