Books that I'm reading
I've started reading, on David's recommendation, Al Franken's Rush Limbah is a Big Fat Idiot. It's on and off funny, so far, and I really enjoyed Franken's account of a game of presidential football. Comic gold.

I just received King Rat in the mail as an interlibrary loan. I haven't begun yet, but if it's as good as Perdido Street Station or the Scar, it should be good reading.

And for Jess' edification, I read the Wasp Factory during the summer. It reminded me alot of earlier Palinichuck, but with a harder edge to it. I believe David read it too, but he never told me what he thought. Thanks for the recommendation, though. What was the other book that you recommended? The one about witches? The wicked witch of the west, or something?
