I could write about a lot of things right now, but I'm going to write about Juliet Naked, the newest Nick Hornby book. I got it a week or so ago, but didn't get around to reading it until I had a long train ride to SF for the Treasure Island Music Festival (which was amazing, by the way). Since then, I've had a difficult time putting it down (or alloting as much time to it as a law student can allot to a non-law book).
Anyway, as you might have noticed, I fell way off track with that 50 books in a year thing. I mean, I got through a couple of other ones since the last one I posted about, but the momentum from earlier in the year has been missing. Part of this is because I now watch TV while I work out and that was my primary reading time. It was a good run, however, and I think it did get me to branch out to read a lot of books that I might not have read otherwise.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the book. I think it might float somewhere between A Long Way Down and About a Boy, if I had to rank it.
My problem is that the book just kind of stopped and left us with an ambiguous ending. I don't know anyone who's read it either, so it's going to drive me nuts until I find someone who's read it.
That's it. I'd go to bed now, but I have to wait for laundry to finish...And i told myself I'd start my IP outline today.
