Thanks to garofalo-lover for helping me out with my bookclub's June selection. I've started reading and forgot to record that I "caught" it.

10th/Last Book Read in 2005: Vacationing in Cabo San Jose, Mexico provided the perfect environment to catch up on some pleasure reading. I enjoy Eggers' sarcastic style of writing and when he surprises the reader with the unexpected (e.g. commentary in the publishing credits, footnotes, etc...). What made this most enjoyable is that he writes about thoughts that most people dare not to say out loud. Plus some of his stream of conscious comments regarding how his brother, Troph, reassures me that there are other folks out there who have twisted, paranoid, and exaggerated thoughts. There were many moments that I laughed out loud. However, I found the ending/last chapter anti-climatic. I've lent this book to one of my vacation buddies who is a non-bookcrosser.
