I will now get you to okay all books I plan on reading, will immediately cease and desist reading Franzen. I submit to your superior taste in lit; I am but a philistine with delusions of grandeur.

Ata boy! You're seeing the light. Have you picked up The Mighty Walzer yet? I just got Finkler and am reading bits. Unfortunately, I have an assignement for the Gazette I'm trying to finish first.

Will see if Walzer is on iBooks. I may have to actually start buying books instead of reading free samples. By the way, and it may just be because I have a soft, impressionable brain, but Freedom has really started to bore me, losing interest in characters and cringing from all sex descriptions. But I,m about 65% through book and have this obsession about finishing. Also reading Hitch 22 (Christopher Hitchens is my fave Vanity Fair writer & good buddies with Martin Amis) and hating it also. May just be my latent ADD kicking in though...You must watch the This week In Start Ups podcast with Adam Curry, talk about brilliant guys...
