I want to also get the 'Because they wanted to' short story collection. I think you should read it because that way then you can engage in the discussion knowing what is being talked about. I've only taken a gander at it, but if it's Gaitskill, it should be a worth-reading book. I just re-read 'Secretary' last night. I wish they would release a collection of her essays or something, that would be great. I going to read it this summer. I want to also get the ‘Because they wanted to’ short story collection.

I just bought Two Girls, Fat and Thin and want to read it this summer. Bad Behavior and Veronica really tore me open. I need to get Because They Wanted To as well. She was at the Free Library in Philadelphia a year or so ago; hopefully she'll come back. She’s a real inspiration. I just bought Two Girls, Fat and Thin and want to read it this summer.

She said something about you looking familiar, didn't she? I saw that Harpers and was so impressed by how much you thought ahea -- though I didn't know it was you at the time. I was the freakishly tall woman in the blue shirt. You were two people in front of me. She said something about you looking familiar, didn’t she?

She signed all my stuff, but I didn't get a cool compliment like you. I couldn't figure out which person you were or I would have said hi. I kept wondering how she kept her suit so wrinkle free on a book tour, and liking the toughness of her boots underneath the suit pants.
