I got bored, never finished Beeswing (I think my focus is going from age and staring at screens, but couldn't hold my attention-and I LOVE Thompson...)
I can understand that. I feel that he is a rather dour fellow who perhaps has trouble even measuring up to his own standards; he's a very serious man, and a good writer of some depth. Maybe it's a bit dry. But it's honest and intelligent (and maybe a bit sad), like his songwriting.
