Reading
I've read four (three and a half, if you want to get calendar technical on me) quality and amusing books so far this year:
- Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
- Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace
- Mission to America by Walter Kirn, and
- The Pirates! In an adventure with Scientists by Gideon Defoe.
If I had to pick a literary career to copy, right now today I'd trade Nick Hornby's for Walter Kirn's. But I don't have to, because I'm pursuing my very own one-of-a-kind literary career in my own voice. So nevermind. Still, you can't go wrong with the above books.
