Your current reading assignment:

Angelica: A Novel by Arthur Phillips.

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.

This was a little disturbing —

A big public display about how the Rapture is gonna come any second…

And everybody is already gone.

I guess if you’re reading this, we’re all gonna tribulate together.

There’s a certain economy to this building in Basseterre, which contains representatives of Italy, Austria, the UK, France, Switzerland, the US, Canada, and, yes, The Athlete’s Foot:

When The Athlete’s Foot sends troops to liberate Foot Locker, we already know who’s in the coalition.

I love the little tag at the bottom: "have fun."

Um.  I think you have that covered in the title, guys.
