Slam

Just finished Nick Hornby's Slam, which was a terrific read. I don't know if he'll get any flak for it because it is not unreservedly negative about teen pregnancy, but it was a great, great book.

Everytime I read Nick Hornby I get depressed, because it seems so easy to write like that, yet I somehow can't. I want to be that good at anything at all, never mind writing itself.

I had my first and only child at 26, so I can't really empathize, but I felt (and feel) many of the same emotions Sam does in the book. You'd think I'd have gotten the hang of it by now.

You'd think.
