"It's three books in one, which is always a good deal. There's some true poems (closer to tweets) and a novella, plus another 3rd book which is a secret third thing (long poem essays?). There's not much like it and it makes me smile."- Joey
" The only piece of writing about bikes I've found to be almost as fun to read as it is to actually ride a bike. For when it's too cold out or or too wet out or when you're already tired from riding and you feel like reliving the glory moments."- Joey
" Energizing and inspiring to read! Endlessly quotable and full of stories about bands I thought I knew everything about."- Joey
" Whatever. Unfortunately it is that good. No book has made me laugh harder (except Norm Macdonald's "memoir")."- Joey
" Bolaño's short stories are amazing. Most of them are quietly heartbreaking, and nothing much happens, and I couldn't stop reading them. It seems like Bolaño's life was spent reckoning with the fact that real life can never be as exciting or romantic as the best books can make it seem. His stories capture this feeling: rather than tell tales that are larger-than-life, he uses everyday, beautiful images to tell stories that rarely add up to larger than the sum of their parts. The feeling of reading them, though, is so unique. He can leave the reader feeling like something is missing - in other words, exactly how it feels to be a hopelessly romantic writer. The effect is life-affirming and depressing at the same time."- Joey
