I never did read Kavalier and Clay though, but after you mentioned that you were reading it last week, I picked it up too. I'm just a few pages in, but I'm sure there will be no defenestration when it comes to this book.<br /><br />Mr. Chabon may have a great vocabulary, but I'll bet he's never used the phrase "mercerized cotton competition". And I'm even more sure that he's never made such a fabulous puppet.patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344799869066551079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-27751855256322072252010-01-26T20:01:34.646-08:002010-01-26T20:01:34.646-08:00Jeff really enjoys Chabon.

It is very handy for looking up words, for mapping locations, for looking up names mentioned, or for reading up on side topics on Wikipedia.
