Am I blogging...or am I pitching my existence?

The Pitch: It's like The Virgin Suicides meets a Whole Pile of Money!  

When the Hell am I gonna read this book? (No, I don't mean Master of the Senate)

I could start it tonight, you know. I just finished War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning. I've been meaning to read Middlesex for literally months now--I just haven't had the wherewithal to sling its hardbound huge-assedness in my bag to and from work.

But maybe it's time. Maybe this is the reason why Mark Costello's Big If was inexplicably not in the more literate of the two nearby junky super-chains I visited at lunch. (It was in the more trashy bookstore down on Embarc. 4, but I passed it up, sure in my belief it'd be closer to the office.) And didn't I say I was going to read Neal Stephenson?

All I know is I've got nothing to read on my way home now--except the newly released Employee Policy Manual, which I haven't even thumbed through yet. (I have no doubt I'm probably breaking a dozen or more of its rules by writing and posting this.)

Can I go home yet?
