New Book - Life by Keith Richards

I finished You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers, which I really liked. It's a first-person narrative novel about two friends who travel around the world in one week to give away $32,000 for reasons that are unclear. They don't plan exactly where they're going, and they have madcap adventures along the way. It's funny and slightly weird, but definitely interesting. I dig Eggers's style.

Thanks to Alex and his anonymous wife for my next book, Life by Keith Richards. In the first twenty pages, he already used the words "spliff" and "buggers" -- and properly at that. I'm now about 100 pages in. It's a good read so far, and he hasn't even gotten into drugs or booze yet. Look at that cover. That about says it all.
