This year is starting to turn out to be a pretty good reading year. Unfortunately, there is really only one place to go from here and I'm not holding hope that I'll find better books than these two. I'll hold off saying anything about these books until my end of the year lists come out so I'll just say that they are really,
really good. There are images in these books that I'll never forget, and single lines that I've read over and over and marveled at how simple but full of meaning they are.
The McSweeney's Book Club has already paid for itself.
