My book reviews now have their very own byline over at Culture Lust, which is terribly exciting for me (you can read my review of Jose Saramago’s Blindness here and Sara Gruen’s Water For Elephants here). And yet, I can’t help but wonder why KPBS would want to risk their fine reputation by slumming around with yours truly…

No matter. I live for driveway moments and love KPBS so dearly, I not only tend to listen to the same story on my drive home from work that I listened to on my way in, but I often cry both times. That, my friends, is dedication. Needless to say, I’m honored to have such a reputable platform. Their class is already rubbing off on me, too: Nowhere in my review of The Believers did I use the F-word, discuss vibrators or wish chronic dysentery on any Republicans. Though I’m pretty much always wishing chronic dysentery on Republicans, especially under- and uninsured Republicans. It’s my own personal campaign to win hearts and minds.

Anyhow. If you’re looking for something to read, Angela Carone is offering up an array of options at Culture Lust during this week-long celebration of books. Go pay her a visit and see if you can’t find something to your liking. And do tell: What will you be reading this weekend?
