I’ve got to get Jess Walter’s latest onto my reading pile.

Even if not for all the fabulous reviews it (The Zero) is getting, for the fact that he posted this hilarious quote on the Powell’s guest author blog:
To me, golf is like karaoke: the only thing more pathetic than being bad at it is being good at it.
That paragraph also started with this hilarity: I once broke my collarbone in a golf tournament. Technically, I suppose, the injury was more of a gin-drinking accident than a golf accident, but it still says a lot about my relationship to the game that it’s my fondest golf memory.
