Dead kids and pee jokes

I haven't read in awhile. Normally i knock out a couple of books a week, but i've been slacking the last couple of months. Anyway, to get back into the fold, i read "The Pillowman," a play by Martin McDonagh and Sarah Silverman's memoir, "The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee." They were both great. McDonagh's play is fantastic. It's about a writer in a totalitarian state getting interrogated by police officers because his stories closely resemble recent child murders in the area. It's awesome, and i'd really like to see it performed. Pretty heavy stuff.

On the other hand, "Bedwetter" was good, but not great. Silverman is funny, but i feel like she could have done more. I will say that it's interesting to see what her time on SNL was like and some behind the scenes moments from her show. Also, find out which 80's singer is a racist, and who knew that a nerd sex symbol was a chronic bedwetter well into her teenage years. Worth a read, but look for it used.

Now i'm onto "Girls," by Nic Kelman. So far, there's been a bunch of sex, and i find it interesting that the blurbs on the back of the book include comments from disgraced writer James Frey as well as J.T. Leroy, who was later discovered to not be an actual person. This is gonna be awesome.
