Ugh man, Junot Diaz is doing a talk this Saturday as part of the Melbourne Writers Festival and I really want to see him, but I haven't read any of his books (dumb uni library somehow does not have them??) so I feel a bit weird about going based on "people say you are great and I like those quotes that circulate round Tumblr". But your review, ugh, I want to read him even more now.

I'm so jealous!!! I think you should go and tell me all about. And THEN read all his books. Actually, hey, I somehow have two copies of Oscar Wao and still haven't sent you the thing from California i was meant to sent you, how do you feel about Junot Diaz in the post?

Maybe I will! And oh, dude, that would be awesome if you didn't mind parting with it? (I have like three copies of Moby Dick, just in case.) ♥ You are a sweetheart!

I don't at all! I have a copy, my sister has a copy, FREE OWNERSHIP OF OSCAR WAO FOR ALL, I'll send you mine. Three copies of Moby Dick? Hahahahahahhaaha that is the best. I have a copy myself which I have been intending to get around to for three years (MAYBE THIS SUMMER WILL BE THE SUMMER /o\), so I'm good, thank you darling ♥
