i just picked this up: but I don't know what to think of it 50 pages in. He's a tad too sardonic for a Euro-league reject, and he tries to make up for it with forced self deprecation a bit. I guess I'll just have to see if it gets better. Could have done without the Klosterman intro. The more of that guy's shit I read, the more I realize he just sucks.

It usually takes a great deal of effort and commitment to finish a book....half the books that I ever picked up were left unfinished.
Anyway, I just started on "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen. Anyone read this? I find myself trying to "decipher" every sentence....my head hurts. but I will continue.
I've put in another 40 pages tonight. I think I feel the same way- at first I didn't understand why Klosterman had even written the intro. Now I realize that they are both so intolerably flippant, that they are perfect for one another.

I can't stand this dude. Or Klosterman.
