Books

I recently read Hit Parade of Tears by Izumi Suzuki. It's a series of interrelated short stories, and it's pretty weird. And great. Think alternate timelines in which the Municipal Police Department building in Tokyo becomes a giant handroll eaten by some unknown celestial figure. (This is really not a spoiler!)

In high school, my best friend would bring me Christopher Pike and, a couple years later, Chuck Palahniuk novels, and they unseated many of my notions about reality.
