Dave Eggers

Well, Lisa was right. Dave Eggers does in fact rule. I am reading his first book (that I know of), A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. It is naturally amazing. I am impressed that he wrote this as a new author blah blah blah. Basically, I want him to get super famous because now it only seems that my book savvy friends know about him. So consider yourselves informed and get to the library, people!

Update: It occurs to me that I may have been too rash in my assumption that Eggers is not already "super famous." He has enjoyed a lot of critical success and if the Times has acknowledged him in anyway, I bet at least some of the lemmings reading it know who he is. But I would like for him to be wildly famous, a cult classic. So if he is already and I am just late jumping on this particular bandwagon, someone yell at me for being so self-involved and an obviously horrid English teacher to be because I was unaware of his phenomenal work.
