I really love that book and if they ever pull of the impossible and make it into a film I've always imagined Zach G would be great for the Ignatius role.
How nerdy is it that I'm reading The Illuminatus Trilogy, again?

Already Dead by Denis Johnson. I'm uneasy about where it's all going, particularly after I was let down by Tree of Smoke. I thought Jesus' Son was pretty much perfect and have been unsure where to turn with him.

His books are very different. And some are just plain weird (Fiskadoro, Resuscitation of a Hanged Man).

I was either going to read that or The Name of the World. Have you read that one?
