I just bring a nice large porcelain gravy boat with me and nobody every has any problems serving me a quadruple in it... Maybe it's your attitude? PIZZA! PIZZA! PL: That's not Alfredo sauce.

I recently picked it up, and you seem to occasionally tap into the same vibe that he did. PL: No, but that's a damn flattering comparison. Serious man of letters there. I have Martin and Kingsley on the bookshelf, but for one reason or another, I haven't gotten to them. Probably because I've been reading too many pop books on economic crap recently. I have to get out of this fascination with the creative destruction going on in the global economy. For starters, it depresses as much as it intrigues (I like watching things fall apart as much as the next guy, but the better part is watching a Phoenix emerge from the rubble. And this time, I just can't see it happening. At least not on any reasonable time table.). Secondly, I'm not sure people want to hear somebody reflecting the bleak reality of that stuff at them. I think we all know it's all true, that we're uniquely fucked this time (I was wrong on credit rebounding in that piece I did on New Year's Eve), and we'd rather think about something else because we feel like they have no control over that problem. So thanks for the recommendation. Perhaps it's time to crack those Amis books. Have you read Money by Martin Amis?
