Drunk, Jane spoke as though she were Nancy Drew. I was a fool for a girl with a dainty lexicon.

May 24, 1963: Happy birthday, Michael Chabon! The Pulitzer Prize-winner has written about everything from golems to jazz to the horrors of not being able to stop writing. He turns 50 today.
OMG, I love this guy. He’s so prolific. The only one I read was The Yiddish Policeman’s Union, which took me a while to get into because I had to look up so many words, but once in and the ending… blew me away. 🙂
I’ll have to check out a lot of them, yet. 🙂
Me too. Too many books, too little time… 🙂
And you have to write all your books, as well! 🙂
lol, well at least I’m making headway on #2. But feeling very skittish with it… off to hug the furries. 🙂
Give them a big hug from me, too. 😀
Why skittish?
Heavy topics are involved. You always want to do them justice.
Sounds interesting, I’m hanging out to read it!!! 😀
🙂
