Guy, not sure what you felt about the Blue Like Jazz book craze across the U.S., but after reading your blog, i just have to recommend a book to you and your readers for the new year. It is Brown Like Coffee. Kind of wacky but real challenging. I found it at brownlikecoffee.com . It seemed kind of like a response to BLJ. I would love to get your response to both books.

Hi Rocky. Sorry, but I haven't heard of either of the books that you mentioned. The craze doesn't seem to have crossed the Atlantic yet!
