Hello there, I've just had the pleasure of reading _Candyfreak_ by Steve Almond, and thank you to whoever scanned that because he's such a talented writer. Anyway, his most recent book (2007), entitled Not that you Asked: Rants, Exploits, and Obsessions, is supposed to be an excellent read; I actually had the pleasure of hearing him read from it at a conference and would love to read it in its entirety. If anyone can manage to track down a copy of it, it'd be a wwonderful adition to bookshare. All best, Francesca Marinaro
