Authors who make book trailers are a rather silly bunch.

“This is a great day for illiterate authors,” Shteyngart said. “From Snooki, to Nicole Richie, to me. I prepared a speech, but I can’t read. USA!”

Gary Shteyngart is a seriously funny man and an incredible author, IMO.

Vladimir asked for a geography lesson as the tram rocked them back and forth on its journey across the Tavlata, heaving them into the neatly groomed old-timers who were entitled to their tram seats by law and derived a great, silent pleasure from watching the two standing foreigners tumble to their knees.

Sounds familiar.

Portrait/Logo

I’m a student at the University of Kentucky, majoring in English. During the fall of 2009 I studied abroad in Warsaw, Poland. I love the News, Technology, and Tweeting/Blogging but I spend most of my time Reading and Cooking.

I'm a nerd in a every possible sense.
