I'm taking an English class this semester called The Contemporary Novel--taught by authoress Holly Goddard Jones--and tonight for said class, we were required to attend a reading by author Joshua Ferris. He read for about an hour from his newest book, The Unnamed. I don't think I moved in my chair the whole time. Not only is this man a captivating reader, he is also funny and looks like a J.Crew model.
We're going to be covering his first novel, Then We Came To The End, later in the semester. I got him to sign my copy of the book, and now I am most certainly excited to be reading it.

I just happened upon your blog...I don't even know how but I enjoyed reading it. I agree with everything you wrote...I even drooled. :) The book is going on my TBR list and may be recommended to my book club. Maybe we could have the author visit!
Thank you for your comment, Betty. I hope you and your book club enjoy Mr. Ferris as much as I did!
