American Demigods: "okay, I do have something to say"

For years people have been agitating for me to read Michael Chabon's "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay" telling me how it's a brilliant book, Pulitzer Prize winner blah blah and also about comic books. It's not that I haven't wanted to read it, it's just that I've had a lot of other things to read. Now I've read them all and am finally reading Kavalier. Sweet Christ is this a great book!

Not only is it about comics, but it's also about how sometimes you go to parties and beautiful women fall in love with you after you save Salvador Dali's life.

That is so true!

This is my first Chabon book, although I saw the movie "Wonder Boys" a few years ago and remember liking it.

Chabon writes great stuff. If you want to switch gears and read something more post-collegiate, try "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh". (If you haven't already).

I have to reread "K & K" so I can say something intelligent about it. But I do remember that party trick.
