Finished American Sphinx. Ellis is good.

Currently reading Ironweed, by William Kennedy. I'm about half-way through it and not particulary digging it. It's not bad, just...mleh. Every once in a while, though, there's something like this:

"Whatayou been up to?" Rudy asked. "You know somebody buried up there?"

"A little kid I used to know."

"A kid? What'd he do, die young?"

"Pretty young."

"What happened to him?"

"He fell."

"He fell where?"

"He fell on the floor."

"Hell, I fall on the floor about twice a day and I ain't dead."

"That's what you think," Francis said.
