About Brevet Captain
I am a reader and writer who appreciates the comedy and decency of dogs, the subtleties of whiskey, and the pure beauty of a pulling guard in the open field.
Writers whose works I love: Neal Stephenson, Thomas Pynchon, Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood, Herman Melville, Ishmael Reed, Leo Tolstoy, Franz Kafka, Feodor Dostoevsky, Anton Chekhov, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and James Joyce.

bendawson asked: Could I ask a favor? I'm making an effort to make my brain more than a receptacle for numbers and useless sports knowledge, and just picked up some Pynchon and Fitzgerald (MINNESOTA PROVINCIALISM! WOO!) to slowly grind back up to speed. Could you recommend a few other things for me to read?
Which Pynchon and Fitzgerald? I’m a Neal Stephenson fanatic, you might like Snow Crash or Cryptonomicon—that one is long. I also really like Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood, William Gibson, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Robertson Davies. For a fun, light read that moves quickly but is interesting, you might try to find ‘The Club Dumas’ by Arturo Perez-Reverte. Riveting.
