The Overstory. But the fact that the way the first chapter ended made me LMAO doesn't bode well for me finishing it.

I just "read" (if you can call it that) the book 5x1 Pearl Jam through the eye of Lance Mercer

There were a few pretty good quotes ... from Tim Robbins, Michael Stipe, Bruce Springsteen ...

But the quote from Theo Epstein was so fucking lame. Fuck that pompous ass. I hope the Mariners never hire him.

PS - Fantastic quote from Gloria Steinem in what was probably 2005 or 2006 = "For anyone tired of machine-made songs and public images tailored by focus groups, it's this authenticity that makes Pearl Jam unique."

Discussions in another thread have me curious about the novel L.A. Confidential. I see that it's part of the "L.A. Quartet." Does that mean I should read them in order? How much do they depend on each other? Can I just read LAC (the 3rd of the quartet) without the others?
