fun with time travel

go now and read this great short fiction piece about time travel called Troubleshooting Guide for TimeCorp’s VH3928-Model Time Machine today by Jonathan Baude & J. Alex Boyd on the McSweeney’s site…it’s hilarious.  definitely worth the read, especially if you’re a fan of the idea of time travel and the all the crazy nonsense that must come with it.

there is also this completely awesome selection of very short fiction pieces by three authors (Eggers, Manguso, and Olin Unferth), as a promo for their book called One Hundred And Forty-Five Stories In a Small Box.  number 49 by Sarah Manguso, which you can read here, is a measly 73 words, and completely blew my mind.  i love it when someone can blow my mind in only 73 words.  i’ll be picking up this book as soon as humanly possible.

you should too.
