Funny. I have one of the 75 copies. I won a contest back in ’06 at Powell’s in Portland. I entered twice. In one of the entries I wrote a puff piece and credited it to Jim Crace’s biggest critic in the UK. The other was nonsensical. I think the later won.

It’s all a balancing act, isn’t Danielle?

Add me to list of those planning on taking a look at Being Dead. It sounds like the movie Memento but also not at all. I think I am probably not the only one to make that comparison and I wait to be scolded for doing so.

I think I am going to have to look for that Jim Crace book now, too! I hate that sort of unsatisfactory feeling, too. I am in the middle of a few books and feeling like I am never going to finish anything soon. I did finish Lady Susan, but my edition also has The Watsons and Sanditon in it,which I want to read, so that means I am technically not done with the book! I also got Bookforum recently and have yet to even open it. Too much time on the computer!

Oh I hate those weird reading funks. I feel like I’ve been reading the same two books forever now and what’s worse is that they are both a bit depressing too. I am in need of good fluff! Sadly, I still haven’t picked up Lady Susan either. Maybe tonight. Oh and have not read Crace but that story about the fake books is great.
