Jonathan Safran Foer

I'm not a big fan of flash sites. Why? Because they are always loading . . . loading . . . loading . . . something that's usually disappointing. Not so here at Jonathan Safran Foer's Project Museum. Dig the Scorcese-ish subway rollover entrance mat. Dig the homing blackbird. This is Flash with some real class (ed. note—read with a Brooklyn accent).

Also, I'm equally pleased with Everything is Illuminated. Absolutely the most ingenious use of malapropisms in any book I've ever read. Imagine a novel narrated by Latka from Taxi and you start to get the idea.

And yes, we are going to the poetry reading Friday night even though it doesn't start until 10pm.
