RURD looks amazing. I have the short version, and someone recently bought me the full version as a gift. (Waiting for it to ship.) I’m drooling.

Reading “Rising Up and Rising Down” was probably the best-spent month of my life. (Yeh, worth it for the case studies alone.) I’d toss Europe Central on the pile — otherwise, I can’t quibble w/Blake Butler’s list.

As for “The Library,” just watch all episodes of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” — that’s the inspiration for what Kelly Link’s talking about.

Good list, Notable American Women I read with complete glee after the first few pages of consternation. What a rhythm… and I’ll stand by his Franzen manifesto. I’d put a Kevin Killian, Derek McCormack, and a few others from Cooper’s Little House on The Bowery list on there as well.

Just read the Sluts. Got it last night after getting home from work and finished before midnight. Couldn’t stop myself, even though I had visions of finishing it on the train into work. An amazing read. So fucked up and hilarious. Will never view “smile” or LOL in e-mails the same way. I know someone who always writes “smile” in her work e-mails (she has no sense of humor). I’m tempted to recommend this book to her.
