I quit James Ellroy's new book four hundred pages in, which made me a bit sad, but I really couldn't give a fuck what happened to anyone in the novel and reading it was like a second job, and so I started Zeitoun, Dave Eggers' non-fiction account of a Syrian contractor that remained in New Orleans after Katrina hit in order to maintain his properties and equipment-- it's an apocalyptic story that seems to take place in a third world country rather than America, and I highly recommend it: thirty-nine starving dogs out of forty.

Dave, how many of these books have you read?
i bet Dave has read 14 out of 20. but since Netherland appears on the list, i have to invalidate the whole damn thing. i think Dave should make a list of books we should read. and then branch out into things we should do. like, should i get a flu shot? maybe dave's list should be 10 things we should all do today. it would be alot of work for him, but i think the quality of life for his blog readers would be forever improved...
i am revising my total. i now say that Dave has read 10. 6 from 11-20, and 4 from 1-10.
by the way, this is what happens when i don't have soccer practice on a saturday morning...
time to play Forza3 on xbox...
