Valis is one of the weirdest, most difficult books I’ve read.

Keith is one of my oldest friends. A few months back he texted me that he found Valis in a thrift store and was gonna read it. I said I’d read it too and we’d record a podcast.

I first started reading Valis in 2003 but quit after forty pages cuz I didn’t understand anything. As our conversation reveals, twenty years later I still don’t understand anything.

Valis talk ends after thirty minutes. If you’re only here for book stuff, unplug after thirty. Keith and I go on to shoot the s**t like old friends. It’s for sure boring, but some of you freaks might be into it.

My apologies for the audio quality. Rather than use computers and microphones I downloaded an app while on the phone with Keith that recorded our phone conversation. It doesn’t sound good. Would not recommend the app. Sorry!

Enjoy!

P.S. Get in touch. Recommend a book. Make a podcast with me. It’ll be fun.
