| Aaron Cometbus - I Wish There Was Something I Could Quit |
Laura is in the middle of a torrid affair -- with the trains that pass on the tracks at the end of her block. She is obsessed. She can't sleep. She sits on the porch all night lying in wait. Then she throws bricks, bowling balls, cans of paint. She loves the sound as they connect, meeting metal and glass. Smash goes the windshield of the camouflage Humvee. Crash go the headlights of a helicopter. The trains are carrying weapons destined for the front lines of America's latest war, and Laura can't rest until she's consummated the affair by blowing one up! She plots, she plans -- but meanwhile, the trains keep right on coming, haunting her. Taunting her, too. All her good intentions haven't done anything to stop them or even slow one down -- yet.

| Cometbus is probably one of the most underrated authors around. This book is really good, sometimes humorously confusing if you have difficulties keeping up with interpersonal relationships. 4/5 |

| If Aaron Cometbus never wrote anything else... Most people wouldn't even notice. But for those of us that did, it would be a tragedy. At least we'd still have this book to get us through. it's short enough that you can read it in an afternoon, but it's just provoking enough to leave you confused, angry, aroused, and somehow thirsty for days and weeks to come. |

| Short but sweet, a good book. Aaron Cometbus is a great writer who easily captures the punk spirit in his writing and puts you in the shoes of his characters. A damn good read in my opinion. |

| I read this in one sitting. I've been reading cometbus for the past 6 ot 7 years. This is not his best work -but it was still enjoyable. I'd recommend picking this up. |
