New Book - Graceland by Chris Abani

So I finally finished Too Fat to Fish by Artie Lange, and all I can say is that it's amazing he is still alive. The kicker is that he seems like a pretty normal guy, and he obviously realizes that he has severe addiction problems, but he just can seem to get well. You just want to give him a hug -- if you were able to fit your arms around him -- and tell him to hang in there.

I started Graceland by Chris Abani, which is a novel about a teenage Elvis impersonator in the slums of Lagos, Nigeria. Frankly, I can't see how this could be bad.

Eating the Dinosaur by Chuck Klosterman
Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
