Easing into the weekend.

Not much reading news today, as I am still working on Daniel Nester's wonderfully surreal essay collection How to Be Inappropriate, and I just started a novel titled The Kingdom of Ohio, by Matthew Flaming, and it's too early to tell how that's going.

By the way, I LOVE the name "Matthew Flaming." What a great author name. Although I wonder if other little kids made his life a living hell with it through grade, middle, and high school.

In other news, I was perusing EarlyWord.com yesterday (love that site for pre-pub news) and found this tidbit:

"Sarah Palin’s publisher announced this week that she will release a new book in November (America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag). It is currently at #98 on Amazon."

Oh, brother. Someone's got a taste for publishing. I just don't know if I can look at two of the woman's books in one year, though. Seriously, if you haven't yet read the New York magazine article on Palin, please consider doing so now.

And that's all! Have a nice weekend, everyone, and remember to neglect at least one household duty in exchange for reading a book.

I didn't read Palin's first book, but I read your review, CR. Could she have that much more meaningful stuff to say so soon? I have to admit I couldn't read the whole article about Palin in the New York magazine. It was too painful - even though I was on the reference desk when I started reading it.

I got through the Palin article but now I feel that I must take to my bed.

Venta,
Did she have any "meaningful" stuff to say the first time around? My guess is that they are just looking to capitalize on cash flow while the getting is good. Very meaningful.

Sorry, Bybee,
I felt a little like I had to take a shower after it, but I must admit I felt the whole article was worth it for the Levi Johnston interview, where he admits he's in it for the money, why wouldn't he be? Gotta love that kind of honesty.
