I think I'll order it, but it'll be a while before I get to it.  So
don't wait for my review.

I've got Bolano's _The Savage Detectives_ and _2666_ on the way, as
well as Carlos Fuente's _Aura_.  I've got to stop ordering books, and
start reading them.

As for the old-style "beat," I think it will just take a couple
chapters before it just starts to flow in the head (but I never read
Kerouac).

Sounds great in a coffee-house, but, given the major bout of insomnia I'm going through, don't know if I have the mental alertness to focus on it right now.  If you read it and like it, though, let us all know.  He's a bright, interesting guy, and plays a mean fiddle.
