I re-read High Fidelity yesterday. I like that book, though it makes me sad. Or do I read the book because I'm sad? Why am I always able to relate to all these neurotic characters in books? It probably says something about me.

I hope that someday I write something as ironic as High Fidelity, though. I'll have to get on it right away. Maybe I'll re-read About a Boy to get in the mood.

it's a very very good book. i suggest you read Dry next though. it will make you laugh, but not in a way that clashes with the melancholy.

That's exactly what I do! I try to sound academic, I use very little specifics, speak of the overall period in generalities, and use REALLY BIG WORDS, as well as sprinkling phrases such as, "Ultimately, this lead to..." "Overall, this caused..." "The lasting implications of this event were..."
and I regurgitate their notes, and CITE THEM. Always gets an A.
