There's a new novel out called You Shall Know Our Velocity by David Eggers (reviewd by Salon here. Now, I haven't read the book yet (Lisa's making her way through it now), but I like the book if only because it's quirky (it starts on the cover) and the author has published it independently and is selling it only through independent bookstores (you are not going to see it at Barnes & Noble or Borders, but at the Anderson's, A Clean Well Lighted Place For Books, and Bookcourt's of the world). My friend Deb reports that it's weird and Lisa seems to agree, I'll post again once I've read it.
