"The Fermata" by Nicholson Baker

Anyone else read this?

If you did, I have to ask. Am I the only one who's been trying to snap their fingers after reading this book?

I'd like to read this, I've read his "U And I" and "Vox" and this one's probably next on my list - how is it, anyway? Perhaps I'll have to check it out so I get the snapping fingers thing.

It's a very funny and fast read. I'd recommend it to anyone but my parents Cause... It's too sexual for them

I've been wanting to read Vox. How is that one?

It reads exactly like it's marketed: You're eavesdropping on two people who've just met each other on a single's meet and greet 800 service talking about what they find sexually "interesting".

Good stuff.
