Yup, I would have written more last night but seeing as how I was tending to my friend just out of the hospital and spending the rest of the evening in catching up on smut, you may see I was otherwise preoccupied.
I digress.
Summer Read #6 is finished (the incomprehensibly normal Sedaris) and so is Summer Read #8 (a book so guilty I conveniently forgot to mention it here). So to men everywhere, that is, men everywhere with families, I prescribe a healthy dose of Summer Read #6. It was funny 'n all that, but definitely something the unmanicured sex will get on better with. Women, do I have something for you!
If you're looking for a sexy, mindless, smutty, fast, blood-boiling, guilty, lay-in-bed-eating-triple-chocolate-cake sort of read then Summer Read #8 is for you - Jennifer Crusie's Welcome to Temptation. On the recommendation from someone who reads one book every 7-8 years (aka a cycle long enough for her body to have completely regenerated in to a new, able to absorb one new book freakishly deviant and obscure type of humanoid), I picked up this ditty. Let it be known here and now that it turns out Keira never actually read this book as she mistook it for the one other book she read since she was in college. But I won't hold it against her since this guilty pleasure was such a, um, well, guilty pleasure.
Summer Read #9 is a short story on the recommendation from The Guy Who Doesn't Let Anyone Borrow His Books (Except For Me Cuz What Margaret Wants Margaret Gets)™. I'll have to get back to you on the name of it - something about Neon or Zaeon? Or a singing monkey?

The story is called "Good Old Neon" from the collection Oblivion by David Foster Wallace.
Right, right.... Neon. That's it.
