Don't Miss This!

Definitely check out  Mary Karr: By the Book in the NY Times this weekend.  She's smart, pithy, and her reading syllabus fits nicely with many of our group discussions.  It could also make great source material for future selections!  For many of you, her take down of John Ashbery of "Leaving the Atocha Station" fame will be the highlight.  She also had a significant intellectual and romantic relationship with David Foster Wallace.  For those of you who've read Infinite Jest, she is the rumored inspiration for the PGOAT character.  Just seeing this makes me want to go out and tackle great literature!
