It's been a busy week.
The Youth Group show on the weekend was amazing - as if that is any surprise.
I've been going through books like a madman this past month and over the past five days alone have read 3. They are:
Bob Zmuda's - Andy Kaufman Revealed. Zmuda might be a hand a telling a good story, I can't help that he tells them a little too well- for them to be true. Before I borrowed it I had suspected that there might be a substantial proportion of BS. Not the usual kind - the kind that everyone expects. No, he admits to several things that have already been revealed in other places as being a work - but that one might expect him to claim was a shoot - as red herrings for what I think were probably even bigger (or at least more elaborate lies). Which isn't to say it wasn't an entertaining book. It was. But his stories about things like Mr X reeked of either exagerration or outright fabrication.
Spalding Gray - Gray's Anatomy. I probably should count this as a book, as at 80 pages it's more like a extra-long article. I look forward to reading more of his work.
Chuck Klosterman - Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs. This is right up there with the funniest things I have ever read. Through most of it, I felt not unlike I did reading High Fidelity for the first time - like someone had somehow gotten deep into my mind and transribed my thoughts.
I am supposed to go house-hunting on the weekend. This will be interesting...

Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs sounds awesome. I should stop reading and rereading Hunter S. Thompson books and check that.
