You know something about Christmas? It was pretty awesome. I might just bother going into that more later. Anyway, I finally got to reading Mary McCarthy's The Group which I found at the local library book sale for like five cents and let me tell you something, this is one frigging awesome book and where has it been all my life? I'm only about on page 160 because of the adult ADD and all but man is this a sweet piece of historical literature that should be required reading for everyone who can read. Show me anything about naive coeds trying to make it in the Real World set between 1930 and 1970 and I'm sold. Sold!!! It reminded me to dig up this list (even though Salon sucks) because there is one book on there that sounds entire universes beyond awesome (#1) and given the others in the list I have to believe it will rule and I must find it. Must!!! I might just have to read White Oleander now out of appreciation. You know, someday.
