All of his books have a sense of humor but Telegraph Avenue is the first one that feels light to me. The others are more soulful, somehow.

4) Interesting that you didn’t like the new one but you are digging “Wonder Boys.” I’ve never read it but would like to.

Just read the Carlo Rotella story. Lovely little thing. Oh, by the way, currently reading Michael Chabon’s Wonder Boys. Loving it. Tried Telegraph Avenue and gave up halfway through. But Chabon can write. Man, can he ever write.

Hey hey. Ten years. Congrats.I think I’ve been lurking around for maybe nine of them. Life has changed a lot since I found this place. Love the new feature, Alex. Great stuff.

I like the series name, bring it on!

I remember my introduction on Bronx Banter, but I don’t remember the year. My, how so much has changed since then. But that’s great; I love the progression. I miss some of the regulars from yesteryear (we can say that now, right?), and I luv the guys and gals who are hear today. And I encourage anyone lurking to feel free and post; we don’t bite (well, not much…) free root beers on RI! >;)

Alllllllllright! Now THIS is a PARTAY!

AB, one day you’ll be known as a journalist/sports historian’s best friend (if you aren’t already). I’ve read all of the above and loved every one – even those about boxing, which I’ve never watched and never cared about, but man, what writing. I can’t wait to see what other “lost” gems you’ve got to share with us!
