And hardly any sense of humor.

Jesus H Christ, in the span of two minutes he mentions The Magazine, Bolerium And Kayo Books in San Francisco.. I wouldn't care even if he Was a monster. Everyone including a complete homophobe such as myself has to respect a man so literate and erudite as he.

I haunt those over priced communist book store whenever I am in San Francisco

[@CrimeComunismFagotry]

@@Palestinian_holocaust And well you should. I was there just after Christmas and sadly, Kayo is essentially gone and while The Magazine is still there it is also winding down. The owner is still keeping it going but the stock is disappearing (even the porn!) and at his advanced age there's no telling how much longer it may be open. Still worth a visit.
