    Picked up Jones' book, "Too Far From Home." Even though I knew the story from Chris' piece in Esquire, this is a great read.

    Best book I've read since "The Tender Bar."

    I'll definitely pick that up. But why is Amazon offering it packaged with a book about left-handedness? Does Amazon know I'm a left-hander? Does it also know I'm not wearing pants?

    I hear that's a pretty shitty read.

    You're intrigued? Johnny Appleseed is beside himself.

    The kid in the upper left corner's going to have a brainyeruism the way he's straining. Unless he's doing his impression of Elvis' last moments.

    This is a pathetic. A respected member of the board writes a hell of a book and it quickly degenerates into a joke-fest regarding a children's how-to shit book ... Give me a fuckin' break.

    Jones would tell you to lighten up.
