Saturday: On the bookshelf


If you are a member of the Books-A-Million discount thing, you can--right now--get this book for 40 percent off. What a steal. Can't wait to read it.
David Sedaris is one of the funniest writers around. He also wrote "Me Talk Pretty One Day," "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" and "The Book of Liz," among other things.
I love how he says in this Time interview that he is puzzled by the Internet. Not by its vast capabilities, mind you, but that it exists, what it is exactly and that he has never been on it. He said he'd rather curl up on the sofa and read a magazine (which I'm sure the people at Time love to hear).
Which also reminds me of our friend B., who, when you mention this Web site or that, will look at you blankly as if you had just said a word in a foreign language. It's kinda refreshing, actually.
