Autobiography in list form!
Readers of my Harry Mathews experimental writing project will remember my obsession with lists. So I thought to lighten up things here a little, I’d list some of the beauty/vanity products I’ve used recently. I’ve also added what books I was reading.
Lists also help me to finish products or books. It’s mainly a problem I have with books, I am literally in the middle of reading so many, some of which for health I’ve temporarily ‘banned’ myself from reading (e.g.poetry), others are just too taxing (e.g. cultural theory, history, intellectually demanding novels, texts in languages other than English).
And besides, Patrick Bateman in American Psycho does it; why shouldn’t I?
