Just finished In Persuasion Nation by George Saunders.  I whizzed through it but remember mostly everything.  What a book!  The stories are so varied and weird and awesome and funny.  Truth is there, hucking infants onto roofs and chasing after giant Twinkies.  I can't pick a favorite story yet, though, "CommComm" kind of glides above the rest (being the concluding story that kind of makes sense).  If you've already read the book or consider my advice garbage, do or at least check out the book's website.  It's got everything--info on the book, author, events; downloads; a photo challenge; proper punctuation; etc--though, the newsletter and buy the book options seem contrary to the point of his stories.  Maybe they're being ironic?
