I honestly don't even feel the need to know what it's about because, you know, David Mitchell.

Yeah I can't wait.

Just a wonderful scene.

Well, c'mon, don't just tease us. What passage?

I love all of David Mitchell's novels. He has a new book coming out in September (I think), I can't wait.

I thought the City and the City was pretty darn spiffy.

I'm just starting to get into the series, and so far I think it's amazing. I guess it shouldn't be surprising that an Oxford History is pretty good

I disagree, if you read Lonesome Dove you are guaranteed to regret it.

They should put that on the cover, make the books Bestsellers immediately.

Since Louis CK made a stand on the pro-rape joke issue, he would be a hypocrite if all he was all the sudden against some jokes that he personally found offensive. For him there is a line drawn somewhere between jokes and this video. Everyone believes in a line drawn somewhere. That's why even the most dogmatic…
