Has anyone picked up David Mamet's book yet?
Mr. Mamet was interviewed on Bill Maher's show last Friday and his new book "The Wicked Son" sounds like a kick in the but to Jews who seem to have compassion and understanding for all the world's ills except for those experienced by the Jews themselves. I picked the book up on Overstock.com and wanted to know if anyone has already read it.

1. I was wondering about that book.
I haven't picked it up. You'll have to give us a book report. Grammar counts! :)

2. I'm expecting there will be a few people in my
own family that I'm going to want to send this to because I'll see them in it. Did you see the interview?

3. I saw it.
Interesting juxtaposition between the faithful Mamet and the atheist Maher. I would have loved for them to converse on that subject for a whole hour.

I have put his book on my list but my Too Read stack is half falling over on my dresser at the moment. *sigh*

5. I just started the book
by his other guest (Infidel). I'm hoping to have them wrapped up by Passover. Our sedars always have a political/religious edge.

4. I did see the interview.
It was very interesting. He'd be a fun guest to have on the panel.
