More (Hint) Thoughtful (Hint, Hint) Christmas Book Giving (Hint, Hint, Hint)

Tom Wolfe's latest broadside, I Am Charlotte Simmons.

Any of this Llama's nearest and dearest wondering what to do with this information might consider going here.

UPDATE: Yes, I read Michael Dirda's review in the WaPo this weekend. And yes, I read Michiko Kakutani's review in the NYTimes. Even given the obvious distate of such critics for a writer like Wolfe, it appears this may not be his best work. Eh. The mark of a master is that you'd rather read his second-rate stuff than the best that lesser lights can produce.

Rob,
With your large and growing readership and legions of llama fans, you should really put up a link to your Amazon wish list (you DO have an Amazon wish list, right?) Just a friendly suggestion.

I've thought about doing something like that, but it makes me uncomfortable. I'd feel like I was imposing on relative strangers.
