I realized I wanted to, just now.

Taking a minute off from reviewing thoughts about AtD,
and reaffirming that I cribbed certain of your thoughts, even during the
Iceland section, and ignored certain others that were at least as interesting...

anyway, I haven't read anything but The Information.
My "good-book-dar" (sort of like gay-dar, I mean) alerted me to it
on a library bookstore shelf (sorry, not full price)

there's some really enjoyable prose in there.
some nice twists and turns.  a wonderful
compare/contrast about writers, poets and playwrights...
a likeable auctorial aside

I'd like to read more of his stuff sometime in the not too distant future.
