Recounting the 2 year run of an obscure (and fictive) artistic movement, Vila-Matas book is basically 'Literary Fiction for People in a Hurry.' If you're a lover of belaboured prose and contortionistic thought exercises, give this little book a look.
P.S. - was up at 8:30 this morning, had this post ready to go by 9, kept getting booted out of @Litsy . Just goes to show where waking up early will get you.

Don't think I can get out to the nearest L.F.L. today, and @Dempsey kinda claimed it already, so I'll go the @Liberty route and fall back on my own personal "library."
For as small as this book is, I don't really have any excuse for not having read it yet. Would certainly make catching up on my yearly reading goal easier.
Christmas book haul #1
Mum and dad give my sister and I money for Christmas, mainly because they can never be sure what books we have so they find it easier to let us go on a spending spree in our own time.
This is the first book haul. Others are to arrive in the mail so when I get book mail, all will be revealed!
Shandy: joyful, voluble, or zany; an alcoholic beverage made of beer and fizzy lemonade or ginger beer; last name of one "Tristram"; a member of the secret society The Shandies, whose history and exploits is detailed in A Brief History of Portable Literature
Hmmm... I wonder if this is some sort of metaphor for... nope, I've lost it.
