Expensive Lunches and other things that I'm not going to mention for fear of persecution.

Oooh... best? Tsss, well, possibly the most important, to me, was The Prince... but best? Fuck, seriously thinking about it I can't even REMEMBER what I've read this year... shit. But it'd probably be some of the poetry... that hit the most nerves. Something by Plath or Peake, in all likelihood.

Live. And cry. And laugh. And maybe, maybe, maybe find someone else to do it with.
