The LA Times and me

Steve Erickson’s Our Ecstatic Days deservedly makes the LA Times’ 2005 best books list

Number of fiction books on the list: 20
I’ve read: 1
Have on deck: 1

sigh.

Special accolades for local Salvador Placencia for making the list with his first novel, The People of Paper. He’ll be reading next month at Vermin on the Mount, where there might also be a few nervous bloggers.
