Thank you. I really needed that today- great timing.

I appreciate your latest post re: Newsweeks book list. I may mock how much white people love lists (we do!), but I plan to participate in this one. I appreciate that Looming Tower made it.

One needs only two things to win at poker:

1. Lots of patience
2. Really good cards

Mike, you’re among the most sophisticated people we know. We also hear you’re a mean poker player.

Now you’re just mocking my lack of sophistication. You know that book is well beyond both my intelligence & attention span.

So, I call you all elitists and read “It’s hard out here for a shrimp” one. more. time.

I’M just saying.

Mike, you seem to have overlooked the one book we have strongly recommended for the past two months. We're just saying.

Thanks Erik- I may order one of these now.

For the record…that was the first real book reccomendation in about two months. Not that I’m griping or anything…I mean, it’s not like one of the Vorebloggers sells books for a living or anything…

I’m just saying.

This sounds like something I’d really enjoy. I’m going to stop by the store on Monday to pick up some books for my upcoming journeys.

But…..where the hell were you in reminding me about the Chuck Klosterman signing? You’re in charge, buddy, and you failed. YOU FAILED!

Thank you, Ben.
Thank you for recommending my work, for reading my work, and for responding to my work so thoughtfully and with such pleasure. I am pleased and flattered by the comparison to Calvin and Hobbes, and I intend to quote it on my site.
Thanks again.

I will taking you up on this recommendation as your recommendation of “Columbine” was superb. I can not stop talking about that book.
