I recently had a long spell of escapist reading that was exactly what I needed for me but it didn't inspire many blog posts! Not that I equate escapist books with bad writing mind you, but the whole point of that sort of reading is to take me out of myself, yet to write anything of critical interest, I have to be very much in my head, so generally I just relish that sort of reading experience without feeling a compulsion to write about it.

It was Harrison Bergeron--kids loved it. We just happened to read a Vonnegut story in class the day he died–kind of spooky. It was Harrison Bergeron–kids loved it.

And Crit, heh heh, the point of my non-post is that you're probably better off if you haven't. Or at least, if you didn't at summer camp when you were 13. :) Thanks, you guys!

You aren't dead in a ditch. Glad to hear it. I've never (I think) read _any_ Vonnegut do I felt like a bit of a dag reading your post... Woo hoo! You aren’t dead in a ditch. Glad to hear it.
