I guess I'm not far enough along that I would have expected much plot to unfold, but now that you mention it, a lot of the funniest books I've read have been light on plot (to the extent they even have one)—e.g. Don Quixote, The Harz Journey, Confessions of Felix Krull, Journey to the End of the Night, Conversations…

TDOTS is the first thing by him I've read, but I'm looking forward to reading more of his stuff in the future. I was thinking I'd hold off awhile on True Grit since I saw the movie, but since you say its great maybe I'll rethink that.  I'm sure its probably better than the movie in any case…

Making a pulled pork shoulder that I've been brining along with some fresh ginger, orange and jalapeno.  Will be adding a Memphis style dry rub (paprika, brown sugar, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, and dry mustard, mostly) of my own concoction and then smoking it over mesquite and pecan wood.  Will be serving…
