What We're Reading
McSweeney's: The McSweeney's Joke Book of Book Jokes (Vintage)
All I know is that we read a poem entitled "Diarrhoea." This is the long loved fave by the school aged crew. You'll remember it, trust me. This has a verse saying "When you're reading some Voltaire, and you feel a little tear..." That's all I can say.- Claire Messud: The Emperor's Children
The Secret History, 10 years later. Does a great job of capturing the angst of the status-consciousness and overeducated. Tom Wolfe for chicks. (****) Michael Pollan: The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
Just fantastic. Not preachy, but I learned a ton. Food Science, economics, botany, cultural history... Very highly recommended. (*****)Mark Kriegel: Namath: A Biography
An American tragedy. The fame to performance ratio was way out of whack. You don't know whether to be disgusted or compassionate. (***)Laurence Gonzales: Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why
Wow> Great, scary stuff about life-threatening situations and who survives. Just the thing for when you're stranded in a lifeboat. Lessons abound. (*****)Jessica Livingston: Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days
Absolutely fantastic oral history of startup companies. Something to steal on every page. (*****)Cormac McCarthy: No Country for Old Men
Bleak. Great. (*****)Philippa Gregory: The Other Boleyn Girl
Phillipa Gregory is said to write Bodice Rippers. A term I enjoy. This is a total page turner. It's about Anne and her sister, Mary, Boleyn. Great historical fiction. Racy. Good writing. You'll love it. (*****)Simon Reynolds: Rip it Up and Start Again
Magnificent history of post-punk music, from PiL to Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Everything you ever wanted to know about the B-52s, Talking Heads, and everything else good about the 1980'sHowie Carr: The Brothers Bulger
Shakespeare comes to Southie. Great look at how venal, corrupt, and self-important the wonderful world of municipal politics can be. Two loathsome guys. Imagine if Tony Soprano were the Mayor's brother. Hideous, but you can't look away.
