For those of you who weren't at the previous installment of Book Chowder: Klosterman Style, I got the pick for the April book.

There was a little confusion, re: a comment/back-handed threat I made about imposing Infinite Jest upon you all. That is not the case. If we ever did that, we'd probably want a two or three month period to do so.

So the book for April is (drum roll, camera shot of nervous contestants who will all invariably pretend they are happy with the winner, even though in their minds they think, 'I should have been picked!') Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy. I've heard it's a bit on the violent and unsettling side of things, but if you've ever read McCarthy, that shouldn't be a surprise.
