Hi there! Love the blog – your reviews make me laugh out loud. Plus I’m getting some titles to add to my reading list. Hope SF is treating you well – S and I are still enjoying London.

There’s someone on eBay selling fake Hunter S. Thompson ‘72 press passes (for Halloween I assume) . . . pretty funny actually.

Comment on Absurdistan is so hot right now. by Marc Hedlund

I don’t think it’s terrible taste at all — sometimes it just works for you and other times it doesn’t. Witness Straight Man, a book that still cracks me up and leaves many of my friends perplexed at my “taste.”

I did like some parts of the books; the memos from the hotel manager (and that character generally) cracked me up. I can definitely see where a more sympathetic eye would find a home. I just missed it.

I think I know what you mean. Certainly that had to be the least sympathetic main character in a long time, up there with the super irritating writer guy in the Corrections. And there was definitely a smugness to the whole narrative that bugged me, like I said. But at some point I gave into the whole thing and enjoyed it, perhaps because I have terrible taste (as evidenced by the trashy books that appear on here regularly, as well as the little stack of Gossip Girls books sitting next to me right now).

Ohmigod I h a a a t e d this book so much. I haven’t read Handjob and perhaps some immersion into his proclivities would have helped; nor am I up on my Russian literature. But of all the books I’ve read in the past year, this entertained me the least, made me think the least, evoked sympathy the least, and unfortunately stayed with me longer than most. Gah. I feel completely out of touch with whatever literary scene brought this to my attention in the first place. Oy!

To each his or her own, I guess…..

I saw this link from extra tasty, I noticed here and there that people are questioning the legality of the drink. Absinthe is legal in the states. As of just this year there are few versions that pass American laws but I know at least 2. I make my razzle dazzles with “Lucid” available at most large scale liquor stores. Furthermore the illegal stuff is only illegal for sale you can still have it imported and posses it.

George, thank you for the comment. I looked at Bookswim and it seems pretty cool — I like that subscribers can get new releases and you all had several books that weren’t available on booksfree. One question: do you send the books via media mail, or regular first class mail?
