I bought this book about years ago or so. I read
about a third of it and never finished it. Trouble
is, there are still these magical mystical images from
that book floating around in my brain. I keep saying
I need to read it again. I think I may actually still
have the book. Now that you've mentioned it, I know
I'll have to read it again. Maybe that will be my
spring break at the beach book.
Last night I picked up 'The Mysteries of Pittsburgh'
by Michael Chabon, who also wrote 'Wonder Boys'. The
first two chapters are pretty catchy.
