"Truth is punishment"

I'm just going to toss this one out there, and let it land where and how it might: "Me and Miss Mandible" by Donald Barthelme might be one of the best things I've read this year.

The closing paragraph of "Margins" is up there, too.

I just read 'Margins' the other night. I hope that one day I'm smart enough to actually understand it, but at 40 I doubt I'll get there.

I'm 0 for 1 with 59 to go. Not a good sign.
