AUTHOR: Tao Lin
READ: April-June
THOUGHTS: Had never read any Lin, had read a lot about him, wanted to give it a chance. Was surprised by how 'literary' a lot of the stories here were, or at least maybe I was just surprised because the page or two I had read of Shoplifting From American Apparel in a bookstore seemed to be some pretty deadpan prose. I remember liking the first three stories in this collection a good amount, and found the rest of it to be mostly forgettable. I lost steam with this one about 1/3 of the way through.
