Your current reading assignment:

If you’d like to see why, check out the reviews. The Washington Post even calls Arthur "one of the best writers in America."

Full disclosure: Arthur’s an old friend from Jeopardy! — those of you who have read Prisoner of Trebekistan will remember his quiet intensity, I’m sure — and he was kind enough to blurb the book when it came out.

But once you start reading Arthur’s stuff, you’ll see why I’m recommending it. Arthur’s sense of humor is beyond wicked, and his control of his craft is breathtaking.
