Everyone should read

...the Polyphonic Spree by Nick Hornby. It might have been just extra specially good for ME because I am reminded by it that normal, super-witty, English guys read and have a reading future ahead of them and write about it and are NORMAL,.... instead of being slightly gross-smelling old bum-dudes with lots of money who buy books on Nazis and "the German Military" (aka NAZIS) and who unfortunately hang out at the bookstore I work in. Black Oak Books of Darkness. I had exponentially more conversations about books and what to read and how I felt about the Da Vinci Code when I worked in new bookstores. People who want used books aren't browsing for the next book to kick their ass, generally,...they are looking for books by Anton Lavay (bukowski/henry miller/hunter s./robert anton wilson/studly-man-counterculture guru-who-recently-offed-himself) in the first edition (like we would let that get past us!).
I'm sure this is all immensely fascinating.
Guess which website by a former Logos employee rules? Janina's does. It has a diary with beautiful camera-phone pictures (who woulda thunk it?). And her small-press books are available through it.
