A promising "picture book": Retro-Electro

I am savoring Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist.

I am gobbling up Fforde's Lost in a Good Book.

I enjoyed the YA novel Looking for Alaska. It's about boarding school; it's about teen friendships; it's about surviving loss. It's a little like a teen version of The Secret History.

And yes, I am still poking at Everything Is Illuminated. It's not quite terrible enough to not finish. But it's no longer a priority.
