I should write more about this, and I plan to, but for now:

For what it's worth, this is one of the best books I read last year.  I never do this kind of thing, really, but this book does deserve the mention.  I picked up a copy at the Chicago Book Expo and read it on the plane to Texas.  It is a great and horrible book that I was unable to stop reading even though the plane was beginning to feel more and more like something horrible was going to happen, and that this was the place where I was going to die.  I don't know, I'm terrible at book reviews, but I loved it, though I knew it was doing terrible things to me.  Kind of like picking at scabs.  Go read it, please. 

I'm out!

To be fair, I haven't exactly been super attentive to this site, but for those of you still waiting with bated breath for the next post by yours truly, they'll all be located here - Tour Blog! - for the time being.

That's right, Ben and I are striking out on the open road once again to bring a little bit of our general gibber-jabber to the Texas heartland.  We'll be making stops in Denton, Dallas, Austin, Houston, and maybe even good ole San Antonio.  So keep your eyes peeled and your hearts open.  We can't wait to see you.
