I've been having one of those days where blogging seems like a really self-important and ultimately indulgent pastime, but I think I'll carry on regardless.
According to his publisher, advances of Uncle Tom's new book won't be available to anyone until publication date on December 5th, but they've put me on the list which is double exciting.
Martin Amis' latest attack on humanity comes in the form of a short story entitled The Last Days of Mohammed Atta, and it can be found in full in the Observer Magazine this weekend. I just read an excerpt and it's actually quite good.
I officially need to stop ordering books. I now have at least 5 mouthwatering ones waiting for me; The Rifles - Vollmann (arrived this AM and looks great,) The Human Stain - Roth, Lord of the Barnyard - can't remember the author but it also looks great and will probably be next, A Void - Perec, and Slow Learner - Pynchon.
