“Bookslut.” That’s the immediate SMS reply I got from Don after I told him (read: bragged) about my newly acquired copy of The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. Well, I can’t say I don’t agree. Hugo Cabret was not without its companion when I purchased it a few hours ago. According to plan, it was joined by a freshly printed commemorative copy of Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird. Being the indefatigable bookslut that I admittedly am, I’m absolutely open to the idea of a ménage à trois with these two lovelies in the coming days. I guess I should mention that while I’m just about to get to know Hugo Cabret, Mockingbird and I happen to be old pals, having previously done it in the back of a van cruising down Kennon Road seven summers ago. Spending time with both should be a lot of fun. With any luck, I might even get them to participate in an orgy with me, Ballard (Crash), Winterson (Sexing the Cherry), Easton Ellis (Less Than Zero), Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules), and the rest of the gang.

It’s two books, actually. One is Brian Selznick’s The Invention of Hugo Cabret, a copy of which, a Fully Booked customer service rep just informed me, already has my name on it. The other is the 50th anniversary edition of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, whose official Facebook page and, by extension, gorgeous cover, I just “liked”—something I rarely ever do, not even to “you,” “to move it move it,” and “big butts and I cannot lie.”
