began writing his sophomore year of undergrad study when, tired of the formal art education then being taught, he abandoned the pursuit in the middle of a compositional drawing class. Major-less and fearful of losing his financial aid, he signed up to seek a degree in English Literature for no other reason than his lengthy history with the language. Coincidentally, this decision not only introduced him to writing but to reading as well. Prior this transition he had read three books. One of which he understood.

I've never done a To Be Read video. Why? I don't care for them as a viewer, so I felt somewhat false in trying to project excitement for caring for them as a creator. However, I think I've found a way to easy my conscious. Introducing: To Be Read + To Be Drunk, in which I tell you the books I'll be reading as well as the beers I'll be drinking. Enjoy. What I'll be reading: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt White Noise by Don DeLillo What I'll be drinking: Steel Toe Stout from Ska Brewing Samaels from Avery Brewing Huge Arker from Anderson Valley Brewing Raspberry Imperial Three Blind Mice from Mother's Brewing Lil' B from Evil Twin Brewing

Lately I've started to contemplate how best to address my ever-growing TBR pile. I've realized that it's not so much the quantity of books that prevents me from making even a dent in the pile, but more my absurd practice of reading every book to 100% completion, even if I know by page 10 that I won't like the book.

It's time for another (the first ever) round of Bukowski or Bukkake, in which I show you a magnified image and you tell me if it's a picture of the pock-riddled face of writer and poet Charles Bukowski or the cock-ridden disgrace at the center of a bukkake. My guest today is Gordon Highland.
