Happy Valentine’s Day, freaks and tweaks. 

8. Love by Peter Nadas. When I learned my order of this book was gonna arrive on Valentine’s Day, I resolved to read it same-day. And now I have. 

A man is at a girl’s place to dump her but first they smoke joints and get really, really high. And he descends (soars?) into a head space of recursive contemplation of place, time, reality, and yes, a little bit of love, and of madness. “But after some time, the insane go nuts.” 

I immediately had a soft spot for this short book because if you’ve ever been really, really, really out of your gourd on booze or drugs (which I have of course never), then this will  make you (not me of course) say “same, bro, same” (which I of course did not say). 

And along the way, it IS sweet and he DOES love her. At least in the moment. Which he can’t seem to get out of. 

I also got this bc it only had 4 reviews on Amazon and 3 of them were 1-star hate bombs, which cracked me up. Next slide please. #2025books
