Happy Thanksgiving Eve. I doubt anyone is reading this but if so, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be going to see the new Bond? Or pre-gaming for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? Haha pre-gaming. I am a UNH freshman. Who wants to meet at the dining hall to talk about texting? Anyway, let's make this quick.It's Voltaire's birthday today. Everything's for the best in the best of all possible worlds.Alice Munro is a writer people seem to like.Tom Wolfe is a contender for the Literary Review of London's Bad Sex in Fiction Award for Back to Blood. Only makes B2B (that's happening) sound even better.Julian Barnes new essays something something something.Read this hilarious thing by The Awl's Alex Balk about his unrealizable post-modern novel. That actually sounds like something I would read.Louise Erdrich won the national book award for The Roundhouse. Click here to watch a video of the full ceremony, though why you would want to do that is a mystery to me.Okay that's all. In honor of the holiday, thanks to everyone who reads this blog. No joke, writing it is my favorite thing to do. Also thanks to the Barnstorm staff for all your hard work. Though I wish you guys came to meetings more consistently. Just kidding, you guys are great! GOD BLESS US EVERY ONE.
