James Frey writes great book? WTH?
His new, modern-day Jesus fiction -- early reviews are great.

Anybody read it yet?

1. I could never get past the first three sentences
of his first book, mainly because I was very certain that no airline would board a passenger in the shape he supposedly was in. So I was not terribly surprised when eventually it came out that he'd made it all up. I doubt I will ever be willing to read anything he writes, unless perhaps a check made out to me.

There are more books out there than I possibly have the time to read, even if I read every waking hour of my life.

3. I finished it last night
I was blown away- I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.
