The Morning News has announced the books and judges for the 2010 Tournament of Books.
One of the judges: Andrew W.K.
The number of books on the list that I’ve read so far: one, Margaret Atwood’s The Year of the Flood.
This is my favorite time of year…

As usual, I haven't read any of them. I feel illiterate. Jebus, is that what it feels like to be you?
But I've rediscovered reading. Dr. No bought me the final book in James Ellroy's Underworld USA trilogy, "Blood's a Rover," which kicks all kinds of ass. Then two Paul Theroux books, the Dexter Filkins book "The Forever War," about Iraq and Afghanistan. Now I'm reading this.

The first year or so, I felt horribly read so I started reading more of the sort of books that might make it into the ToB. Even so, I still have never read more than four books at the start of a tournament. The best part is, even though I've read a lot of good books over the course of the year, they're able to surprise me with a bunch of good books that i haven't read.
I just got a ticket to the AWK event.

Illiterate? I can read, I just choose not to.
