book club

book club

everybody loves a good book, but i've got a confession. now, I like to think of myself as an intelligent person, thoughtful, an intellectual, maybe. but classics and best sellers can be so b o r i n g sometimes. but give me funny, witty, sometimes girly but always smart books by well educated twenty somethings and i'm there.

i've been excited about reading lately, and in trying to get excited about running (bleh) i thought i would download some audiobooks. and to my surprise and delight, sloane crosley reads her own. I've read these books more than once, but i think it will entertaining for one and all to see me laughing to myself on a treadmill.

any good book recommendations? i want to read steve martin's newest book next...
