I'm very sorry to be using this List for such inane and selfish things!
But who knows-- I have recently devoured all I could of Donald Barthelme's
work. I find his short stories absolutely wonderful, especially "The Big
Radio Broadcast of 1938" which I found a particularly touching love story.
Also loved "Snow White" and all that. Would love to get more, but I've
read them all and he's no longer with us :(

Am going on vacation in a bit and want to bring a book. Was going to bring
a P book but I want to expand a bit more. So here's my personal ad: "M
seeks big Book for long sets on beach, quiet nights. Likes: Pynchon, D
Barthelme, some DF Wallace, books about video game comapnies or cats.
Dislikes: most science fiction, pop science nonfic."
