1. Much as I predicted a month ago, my favorite book of August was also my favorite for July - White Noise.
2. The casual mix of absurdism, wit, and existential dread.

pickIt has taken 25 years + to finally reread this book and it was well worth the wait. It is amazing how a book can get you thinking and inspire you to approach the big questions with humour and humanity. This is that type of book.
pickDeath is everywhere - hovering in the air (the "airborne toxic event"), on the TV and radio (natural disasters, mass graves), even in the doctor's office ("concerning reports") - and our only answer is to buy more junk. I was hesitant to read WN because of its place in the PoMo pantheon and influence on writers I'm ambivalent towards (DFW, Eggers) or actively dislike (the Jonathans), but in the end I'm glad I did. Absurd, hilarious, and...?

1. The one I'm reading now, which will probably be my favorite book for August as well - White Noise
2. It's one of those books I've known about and have been meaning to read seemingly forever, then came across in a used bookstore when I had store credit to burn.
