I forgot to mention that I finished White Teeth by Zadie Smith this morning. I don't know. I gobbled up the first 350 pages on the trip to LA and thought it was a pretty cool book but for the last 100 pages I've been thinking, "when is this book going to get over?" I'm not sure I even understand what happened at the end and I'm not about to go back and read it again. Also we got *another* copy of The Week today -- I am now 3 issues behind. This is why you should never subscribe to a weekly.
