Its just one of those days, when you wish you where somewhere else, wearing clothes you usually don't wear, speaking a different language and eating food you've never tasted before. Just being in someone else's shoes for a day. I think today would be coco chanel day.
A self-absorbed scholar and a young girl crisscross America by car, flitting through college towns where they endure ill-advised sexual encounters, heartache and a potent dose of popular culture. Studded with ingenious wordplay and recondite allusions, their story veers between highbrow comedy and lowbrow tragedy as it careens toward a couple of ambiguous murders and some crafty detective work.

Im three hundred pages into this book, and just when you thought it wouldn't give you anymore surprises it just slaps you in the face with one! Slaap! Marisha Pessl is in her early thirties and this is her debut novel. The book is six hundred and fifty pages long, and right now, I'm not complaining. Read it!
Good nite' good nite' wherever you are..
