RE: Lunchtime reading Weds. 6/30, Bryant Park, w/Jennifer Egan & others! For Underwater New York

Dear J—

Do you still have my copy of Personal Days? You know, the Ed Park novel that I "borrowed" from Laars, who bought it because the L.A. Times compared it to Vonnegut and he hearts Vonnegut....

Hmmm, maybe I'll just buy my own copy. It's paperback, so it's super-cheap...the recession blah blah blah...Woah...The NYT says PD is a "layoff narrative for our times"...Time magazine top 10?! PEN Hemingway finalist? One of THE ATLANTIC's top 10 pop cultural moments of the DECADE? This seriously sounds like the best book ever and I can't believe I lent it to you—you still have my copy of I WAS TOLD THERE'D BE CAKE!

(Yikes! Maxine is around ze corner............)

I'm just going to buy Personal Days right now and someday we should all go hear him read.

Gonna grabbish some luncheonish soonish. Do ye want anything from the outside world?
