love monkey

i feel like writing about it. it's so great. it's that rare combinnation of hilarious and intelligent that is very hard to find in literature. often authors trade in funny foor stupoid and intelligent for even more stupid. Kyle Smith's writing is great. His structure is sort oof choppy like Hemmingway, but it works for him. He's sort of politically incorrect, but masks it in such a way that makes it okay to read. He shares too much about himself, err "Tom". "with all the man jam ive sent spiraling down my shower drain, i could start a sperm bank. a sperm switzerland. isn't this a bit childish of me? shouldnt i be using those sperm for something?" he's sort of emo, very paranoid, he attacks and criticizes himself every chance he gets. that sort of self loathing attitude makes it very difficult to not sympathise with tom, and feel bad for his loneliness. it's a great book ! go buy it
