New book (and what I've been reading)
Categories: Words
I wrote this entry almost a year ago, where I promised to do better about reading and writing about it. Obviously, that didn't work out too well. So I thought I would try again.
I received a $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble for Christmas. Sunday I used it to pick up A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by David Eggers. This was a book I have waffled about for some time. I wanted to read it, but everyone was saying how great it was which made me nervous and I was concerned that Eggers may be too talented and pretentious for his own good. The book sort of seemed pretentious, with the notes and charts and everything in the preface and acknowledgments. Now I am a little ways into it and have changed my tune. It is good. Further report when I have finished.
