About meI'm a recent college graduate who thinks too much. The only way I read is with a pencil in my hand, underlining parts and taking notes in the margins. I think ISBN numbers are one of the greatest things since sliced bread.

Have you ever heard of this novel? http://www.librarything.com/work/5110/book/45008347

My favorite undergrad professor assigned it during my first year at school, and I'm using it now as a supplemental text for some grad work I'm doing with postmodern urban theory. Anyway, I keeping rediscovering passages that, despite being relatively familiar, knock me on my ass. It's some of the most beautifully meditative, transportive prose I've ever encountered. Perhaps I'm putting too much stock in my intuition, but something tells me you'd really dig it, and you're getting a (potentially very heavily marked up) copy next time I see you. Consider yourself forewarned.

I seriously love your new photograph! I also love that you've recently read The Sun Also Rises. I'd love to hear your analysis of Hemingway's whole pompously masculine, expatriate playboy persona.

Noticed you liked Fight Club, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed bunch of kids and a bit dark :) I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit.

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon"

How is this? It's supposedly similar thematically and formally to "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran Foer, which is totally one of my favorite novels of that past decade. I've wanted to get around to reading the Haddon book for so long now! Did you like it?
