Kind of funny article about reading from the NYTimes

Not sure where everyone is in The Family That Couldn't Sleep, but I'm just in the sheep/scrapie section (never wanting to eat lamb ever again) and found this article really interesting: Frozen in Time

I can't find anything about the cast yet, so I've found myself trying to assign parts. Perhaps another interesting conversation topic for our meeting next month . . .

Ken Toole

Just finished Dunces, and was desperate to know more about Ken Toole. Mostly I just wanted to know what he looked like, and thought you guys might as well.
