get out the map.

off to boston to see my favorite girl.

i finished the amazing adventures of kavalier and clay. and i remember that part of the experience of finishing a truly engrossing novel is that let-down at the end, that oh no now whose world am i going to live in? feeling. but i also have trouble disentangling that feeling from my doubts about a particular novel's particular ending.

anyways, i've started an official chabon kick. i'm now reading a model world. you see, i'm super-duper lucky to have a tall angel working in a new literati-type job, and he messengered me books. hoorah!
