Before lending my friend Billy the "extra" chapter of Kavalier & Clay from one of the fancy multi-book versions of McSweeney's so he could show it to his fiction teacher, I reread it & enjoyed it so much that I decided to reread the book. Hooray for me. On the train(s) last week I plowed through the pre-DaVinci Code novels of Dan Brown. Angels & Demons was pretty fun, full of art history & religion trivia plus somewhat intriguing characters. Digital Fortress' codetalk & computerese wasn't enough to hold my interest really. It seemed like an exercise in how to write a "techno-thriller". I think I already wrote about those but whatever.
