This evening, on my train ride from Astor Place to the upper east side, I read The Look Book. (I knew the St. Mark's Bookshop wouldn't let me down.) It's just as good as I thought it would be. Of course it had to look great, it's Red Nose, but it’s also very sweet, creepy, clever, funny, and at times poignant. I also picked up Adam Rex's The True Meaning of Smekday , just out, and laughed three times on the first page. I'm off to LA tomorrow night and it will be a fight as to whether I'm reading this or Brian Slattery's new manuscript....Actually, who am I kidding, I'll be asleep within minutes of take off. I can never stay awake in moving vehicles.
