Title: Ridiculous, but readable
Review: What in the world can a middle-age husband and father think about when he gets up at 4 a.m. to light a fire and drink coffee? Not anything truly spectacular, that's for sure, but Nicholson Baker finds a way to make these ruminations readable. Whether it was about the pet duck, the trials of his briefcase, his wish to start a paper towel collection, or his description of a stomach virus, I found myself reading with increased interest, because darn it all, I actually found myself interested in what Emmett thought. This book is an easy afternoon or evening read, and at Amazon's prices, is worth it. Just don't expect this book to be thought-provoking for days.
