Okay... mentioning Fraud made me think of George Saunders. The reigning king of twisted, laugh your ass off short stories. I've yet to read anything that even comes close to Pastoralia or Civilwarland in Bad Decline. Just had to set the record straight...in case your reading this George. I'm not even going to explain the Pooh thing.

I just finished reading Fraud by David Rakoff. A quick read. I often had to put it down to wipe the tears from my eyes...I laughed that hard. Rakoff is a frequent contributor to "This American Life" Listen online at http://www.thislife.org - though it does require realplayer (sucks). You can also hear their show on your public radio station. If you don't listen to public radio... I don't know what to say. I'm surprised you've read this far.
