You Shall Know Our Velocity (Abridged)
Don’t have the time to read Dave Eggers’ latest book, or simply can’t (or can’t be bothered to) get your hands on a copy?
Not to worry - read the digest version instead (from today’s Guardian).

Why can I not post a note after some of your messages but not the rest? I find it to be a form of cencorship
yeah, i wanted to react on the spit story! you little dictator :o) but who the hell is dave eggers and would i want to read his book?
Dave Eggers is an American author, he started a publishing house called McSweeney’s and wrote an amazing book called ‘A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius’ which is definitely worth reading.
I wouldn’t rush out to get the new one though; I liked it but didn’t love it, it’s been getting critcal lashings and I can see why.

The new one’s a genuine disappointment, especially as I really enjoyed “Heartbreaking Work … “. The recent “Nonrequired Reading” thing he edited was excellent though, worth a good look.
