On a Completely Unrelated Note, I Am Stealing Tina Fey's Phrase "Turkey Burger of a/an..." About Everything

Nice to know that old books are not forgotten but when will there be enough time to read them? It's already nearly impossible to keep up with current titles and contemporary or classic classics. Somehow I haven't read any of Miriam Toews books yet. Her new one, The Flying Troutmans, sounds appealing and Pickle Me This' praise certainly helped pique my interest. More on Toews here. Paper Cuts reports that Rolling Stone recently asked comedians to select the funniest ever novels, movies, etc. Finally, this woman is living one of my dreams. Normally, having other people do things for you is a treat, except when your thunder is stolen in the process and you are reminded how very non-thunderous you've been about the thing being done on your behalf.
