1. Man, I have lived that scene more than once.
3. YES. Couldn't agree more.
4. Even though it's breakfast time, I find myself drooling over the prospect of having a 5-way in Cincinnati.
5. I like Capitalization for Effect, a la Hunter S. Thompson, who seemed to use it judiciously. Who is Zadie Smith?

She's a young Brit writer. Her first book, White Teeth was something of a critical success so I ended up having to read it for a class. (Her other two novels have met significantly less acclaim.) Anyway, every time she wanted you to know that Something Was Funny or Should Be Considered Relevant or was A Wry Comment On Society she would capitalize. She did it roughly fifteen times per page. I was ready to burn that damn book.

besides that, she tells a pretty good story, though. i liked it.

Meh. She was all right. I was too distracted by All The Capitalizing to really get into The Story.
