I read mostly contemporary literary fiction, with some classics, dude lit and memoir/non-fiction mixed in. I post here whenever inspiration strikes (as well as twice a week at Book Riot). Thanks for reading.
Here are my five favorite authors:
David Foster Wallace
John Irving
Philip Roth
Jonathan Tropper
Richard Russo
Here's my fiance and our dachshund Yoshi.
I like the Cincinnati Reds and Marquette University basketball. A lot. If I'm not reading or sleeping, those two things are probably not far from my mind. I like beer, too, and I work as a trade magazine editor. It's a pretty good gig.
Here's my favorite joke:
A guy walks into a bar and is shocked to see a guy no more than a foot tall playing piano in the corner. The guy asks the bartender, "Hey, where'd you find this guy?" The bartender, by way of explanation, takes him into back and shows him a magic lamp. "You know the drill — rub it, the genie'll pop out and grant you a wish." So the guy does, and instantly, there's quacking and feathers as the room is fills up with a million ducks. As the guy dodges and staggers back out into the bar, he asks the bartender, "What gives man?" The bartender says, "I'm not sure, but the genie seems to be hard of hearing. Do you really think I asked for a twelve-inch pianist?"
