Kacey's Book Club
Know what we need more of around this blog? Second opinions.
Meet Kacey. She doesn't blog. But I asked her to check out some books I like, and she said that it's totally cool if I share her opinions with you.
Today, to kick off our new working relationship, I brought Kacey a gift. I found this first edition hard cover of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. It's a book some might consider one of the greatest modern novels of our time. I found the book at the used book store, so I picked it up, figuring it would look nice on Kacey's bookshelf. (Once she gets enough books to warrant owning a bookshelf, that is.) Plus I figured she'd find it as amusing as I do that such a magnificient piece of work was remaindered in its first printing.
So today, Kacey considered this modern classic in its massive entirety.
She reads faster than I do, and was quick to reach a verdict: indifference mixed with a dash of scorn:
Well. That didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Since she didn't appreciate it, I took the book back for myself.
Check back later for the next edition of Kacey's Book Club, in which she poops all over chick lit.

Kacey's great. You should have seen what my dog did to Franzen's latest. I think she left the best part, the title page.

Yeah, dogs don't take kindly to self-importance.

My kitty doggedly scratched the cover of one of my Harry Potters. Gave it character.

Kacey would like to know if she needs a business lawyer & an agent?
