Greetings, book-burners! My Gemini Pig brother Steve W of the Idiotville YouTube channel recently joined me on the Books Are Burning! livestream to share the highlights of his reading from last year. During our marathon witter-fest—which, even after editing, clocks in at almost three hours (!)—we discussed, among other things, the distinction between the ADHD reader (Steve) and the OCD reader (me), the pros and cons of Z-Library, the rebirth of Justin Hawkins, the ecstasy of Saint Teresa, “slime trails,” personal canons, the concept of completionism, the meaning of SASA (“self-annihilating, substance-abusing”), the genius of Dr. Orion Taraban, the poetry of Brigit Pegeen Kelly, and of course the never-ending relevance of Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York. Somewhere along the way, I was also introduced to Gertrude and Alice, the Idiot’s beloved marijuana plants. Press play above to hear the full convo, then give us a like and let us know what the highlights of your own reading were in the draconian Year of the Dragon.

So many books, so little time:
“I want an axe to break the ice” (Bowie at his most Kafkaesque):
“What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?”
