Not reading a Chabon and not finishing a Chabon are COMPLETELY different things. One is understandable, the other is inexcusable.

I don't know why I can't power through them. I've tried Kavalier and Clay, Telegraph Avenue and Yiddish. Maybe another one too. I hit the same wall when I'm trying to read a Safran Foer book too.

Re-reading before my trip to NYC. Lethem is a better essayist than novelist, though I do love several of his novels.

I saw him read from it downtown and was intrigued enough to buy it. But...didn't finish it. To be fair, it came out around the time I was planning my wedding and the subject matter depressed me.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:have you read here i am?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
