Just picked up the greatest book for years: S by Jeffrey Abrams and Doug Dorst. The premise is that two grad students pass back and forth an old novel (Ship of Theseus) by a famous but mysterious author named V.M. Straka. They conduct an epistolatory relationship with margin notes while they take turns with the book. Very innovative. Get this book and read it when you can.

    In nonfiction, I'm reading Difficult Men by Brett Martin, about the creative revolution in TV, from The Sopranos to The Shield to Breaking Bad. Unfortunately, there is little mention of my two favorites, Nurse Jackie and The United States of Tara. Still, interesting behind-the-scenes book.
