Well,
 
I read anything that's not nailed down--  and a little while ago Rob claimed that his Ghostwriters song "Great World"  was written after reading the book by the same title.  So naturally I ran right out to the library-  
  And I would not recommend this book to anyone who's heard the song.  
Its very grim.  Full of blood and pain and suppressed homoeroticism,  
with  a smugly and often repeated theme of an amusement park as an allegory for death.  And no hovercrafts in sight-- 
     If Rob thinks we read too much into the music....  I wonder if he reads deeply enough into anything..   Which makes me think i may not run right out and buy his book.
 
can you tell I'm responding to a month's worth of back mail?
   will be back with something cheery in a few.
 
-Jess
