OH oh oh what a great book--that is, if you are into the quirky, thoughtful, non-plot-driven world of Nicholson Baker. In this new one his hero, Paul Chowder, spends countless hours sitting in his white plastic chair actively not writing the introduction to an anthology of rhyming verse. I loved Baker's unique insight into poetry, mice, sorrow, procrastination, and the unique pinks and greens of unripe blueberries.
