Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m pretty sure that Geoff Dyer isn‘t talking about this kind of sand or definitely not in the desert. However, this is the part of the world I have traveled to this weekend, and this book is about traveling, and the experiences and inspiration it produces. So there is that.

Has anyone read this compilation of stores & poetry by Geoff Dyer? What inspired you? We lived near Rocklin and I got Geoff to sign this book at the Bay Area Book Festival.

Not book related - just spent a day trip visiting White Sands National Park. Never seen it with a cloudy sky - I thought it was even more beautiful without sun.

Getting rather stressed about what books to pack for vacation. Also not sure whether to bring two books or three. This is my current stack of options but it's changing hourly.

Geoff Dyer was hilarious! What a wonderful discussion with Oddny Eir! #baybookfest

I probably didn't need to buy three books today when I'm going to go to BEA tomorrow, but alas. (Picked up these lovelies at Housing Works, Strand, and Three Lives and Company.)

"We are here to be bored rigid and then to wonder how it was possible to be so bored. We are here to wait at Hiva Oa airport in the drenching humidity and to feel definitively what we have felt before, albeit only fleetingly: that we *are* glad we came even though we spent so much of our time wishing we hadn't "

On vacation in Big Sky reading these essays and getting distracted by the sun on the mountains

Richard grant author of Dispatches from Pluto (we have sold a metric shit ton of his book) conducting a hybrid interview with Geoff dyer for his new book. Great reading. Lovely people

Geoff Dyer talking during the Brooklyn book festival. I've been toying with buying this for a while because the quote on the back is incredible, but hearing him speak and read a passage sealed it for me.

This was also part of the 'Darkly Comic' panel which I think describes the book very well. Hilarious, dark, travel writing. 👍 #BKBF

Got this from the library. I probably won't actually have time to read this before it's due, and bc of my 3yo can't do #24in48 but I'll be thinking of everyone!

Hi, my name is Amy. I admit that I am powerless over my addiction to Geoff Dyer and that my life has become unmanageable.
