Tao Lin

Trip

Katie Chua

this was my first tao lin book and i liked how this book was formatted. he's a lil freaky and slightly neurotic and that shows up in his writing style but i found it enjoyable, nonetheless. i liked how he described his motivation for writing the book: "the more he learned, the more alienated he felt from others and the harder it became to find people with similar perspectives. which was another reason for his book. so people could know what he knew. so he wouldn't feel alone in knowing." 

i personally liked the pov switching and the format switching with each section. and reading about how he goes about writing a book was fascinating. definitely makes me wanna get into some drugs now
