Cheating On Erin O'Brien
My son read White Teeth by Zadie Smith and then passed his copy along to me. It took me a while to get to it, but I finished reading it on my trip to Cedar Rapids for my grandmother's funeral. It was a fantastic novel and I highly recommend it...but this post isn't a book review (perhaps it should be?).
A couple of weeks ago, my son invited me to attend an event with him at Arizona State University. It was a reading and book signing by Zadie Smith.
I'm north of 40 years old and I had never been to a book signing before. So I went.
I thoroughly enjoyed the reading and the book signing was quite exciting. I took this picture of my son with Zadie Smith. She is not only beautiful, she also has a lovely soul. The best part of this evening was spending time with my son - who has really grown in so many ways. He has developed an appetite for knowledge and a love for great literature. I can't tell you how much I cherished this evening; sharing something that we both truly enjoyed.
I am looking forward to reading her new book - On Beauty. I will have to buy my own copy this time, because I am pretty certain that he isn't going to loan me his signed copy.
*****But don't forget to read Harvey & Eck by Erin O'Brien before reading anything else. Don't even read the newspaper tomorrow morning until you have finished Harvey & Eck .

Yes, I have heard of Zadie Smith. I will definitely pick up a copy provided it's in bookstores. Remember, I can't shop on line. Zadie is seriously beautiful. How old is she? Your son is outstandingly gorgeous! If only I wasn't maried...
Hey I review books. Amazon loves me much. I only write once. In other words once. Four word my allowance. Got it I think? Many Many Kind Regards

You do well limited. Four words are plenty. I think I understand. Thank you for message.
I call bullshit. That doesn't look anything like Marquez.
That isn't Marquez. He was our pool boy. He returned to CR at the beginning of August. Now retract your bullshit before I am forced to destroy you.

FYI - Satan's return is purely coincidental.
