Sunday Morning Notes
I picked up David Rakoff's Don't Get Too Comfortable yesterday in Albany -- Christopher Butcher has lauded Rakoff's work, and his (Rakoff, not Butcher) appearance on The Daily Show had me uinterested in reading his work. It's a sardonic and propulsive tour through the Age of American Excess, witty and well-written. I love Rakoff's downbeat loathing of all things sunny and cheery, it resonates pretty well with my own worldview. As such, I would definitely recommend you at least pick this up at your local library. I bought it new at The Bookhouse, and having now been entertained by it for over 12 hours, definitely feel I got more than my money's worth, especially if you contrast it with the cost-per-minute of the average funnybook.
Speaking of funnybooks, as noted at my KOCHALKAHOLIC! blog, Super-F*ckers #2 is shipping this coming Wednesday. Don't miss it. And also, speaking of KOCHALKAHOLIC!, I should have a new interview up by this time tomorrow.
