Blue Like Jazz

Jun 13, 2009 12:47

I am reading Donald Miller's "Blue Like Jazz" right now, and liked this section a lot and want to be able to remember it and come back to it. And since I'm typing it in anyway, I might as well share it. I'm not far into the book, but if the rest is like the first three chapters, then I recommend buying your own copy.

( (He's talking, to begin with here, about a Bush protest he attended.) )

Hey! How are you? I'm glad you liked Blue Like Jazz. I don't actually know anyone who's read it, I just kept hearing here and there that it was good. So I'm glad to know that someone whose taste I know to be good liked it.

Yes. Needy is such a nasty word. It makes me cringe. But the part that really gets me is the 95 percent of the time thinking about myself bit. Ugh. Anyway.

So! What have you been reading?

Ah! I love it with authors write more than one book! I didn't know. And the edition I bgt says he has another one coming out this fall. That's so convenient.

I have not heard of A Dirty Job, nor Neverwhere. I'll have to remember those names. Book club book for the month is something called Independent People by a Nobel Prize Winner from Iceland. And I'm only a couple of pages into it, but so far I'm thinking dud. There was some beach read I read about in a magazine that I want to get, but I can't remember what it is ... Anyway, meanwhile, I've been re-working my way through the Mitford books by Jan Karon. They're so calming and sweet.

But I don't need calming this week because I'm on vacation as of 6 hours ago!
