From DFW’s collection of short stories Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. Originally published in Harper’s magazine. Here’s an excerpt from near the end of the story:

That is so much comic books! But I sort of do the same thing. I read Beatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel yesterday in an afternoon to boost this year’s book count. I started a book this morning, but it is not going on this year’s list :/
It’s really not so bad. Y isn’t very...

You need goodreads.
I actually have a goodreads, but I don’t like it much. Plus, I’ve been using my own method for so long, now, that I wouldn’t give it up.

medicinenet.com/cold_fe… Or you need socks.
Using the internet to look up medical issues is a fast way to convince yourself that you’ve come down with a case of the plague.
Why are my feet warm?
My feet are never warm.
Another episode of Hell on Wheels, another volume of Y: The Last Man, and (hopefully) more asks from my ever dutiful followers.

I keep close track of what i read and when I read it. For three or so years now, I can tell you the exact time that I was reading a given book. I can tell you exactly how long it took me, how much I read that year, etc. etc.
I’m a bookkeeper (ha!).
But, at the end of the year, thing’s become complicated. I don’t want to have to carry anything over to the next spreadsheet—I want...

I’m sorry. I’m too busy imagining you working at Hot Topic and laughing my ass off.
I said it was a dark day.

People used to ask me for book recommendations at the library thinking I worked there in my hometown. Awkward moment when you realize you might need to find a new place to hangout.
See, when people approach me, I’m stuck. On one hand, I’ve never worked at a bookstore, do not work at a bookstore,...
I’m the kind of guy that always gets mistaken for an employee in a bookstore.

My Hard-Core Obsession - Shalom Auslander →
I like porn. I don’t have any real problems admitting that. My understanding is that it’s an entirely common fascination. Humans are fundamentally concerned with the topic of sexuality and pornography is an available outlet for exploring that subject.
But, I can’t say that I don’t have my problems. I’m ashamed of it, to some degree. I worry about offending people,...
