great read. i don't know if you've read any of his other stuff, but he's been featured in nylon.

You haven't read it already? Read it immediately. Read it yesterday... or don't read it, but if you don't read it read BED. Read BED. You should have read BED by now. I don't understand why you haven't read BED. It is great. You will like it. Except you should have read it already. When you read it you will feel like you have read it already, like it is a book that you wrote that you misplaced and now you found it and it's yours, it is your thoughts from the future.
Reading this is a good idea.
It will make you a more likeable person.
Suddenly all your relationships will make sense, even the bad ones.
Especially the bad ones.

please read it. people in England read it all the time. Tao Lin is like the 'new Martin Amis' over here.

it's pretty weird but it's also awesome, i really liked it. you should also read 'you are a little bit happier than i am' also by tao lin.

i like your muxtape, it is pop pleasure.

This is TTB here.
TTB does not think this book is any good.
TTB liked Franny Zooey a lot more than this book by this random asian guy.
TTB thinks this novel is "boring" and "lame" and has animals in it and it feels like Tao Lin is "ruining" his novel.
Tao Lin never had much of a novel to ruin with this work.

I suggest reading something else.

Perhaps to wonderfully sculpted prose of myself at

www.bore-parade.blogspot.com

The book zzzzzzzzzzz
is far better and covers the same ground.

Not really.

But fuck Tao Lin.

TTB,

I'll tell you a terrible secret- Are you listening to me? There isn't anyone out there who isn't Seymour's Fat Lady. That includes Professor Tupper, buddy. And all his goddamn cousins by the dozens. There isn't anyone anywhere that isn't Seymour's Fat Lady. Don't you know that? Don't you know that goddamn secret yet?
