Jeff Gordinier wrote an LHB Book Notes essay for “X Saves the World”:

an excerpt:

“I once spoke with Liz Phair on the phone and became convinced, after about five minutes of casual conversation, that she and I were long lost siblings and that we’d shared some sort of Cement Garden/Flowers in the Attic ordeal together that we’d managed to repress for 20 years.”

I have both Jonathan Ames and Dean Haspiel lined up for the series, and am looking forward to their contributions.

That is a fair and just deal. I will also hold myself fully responsible if I don’t like it. 🙂

I actually have that book but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. I’ll move it up the list and hold you responsible if I don’t like it.

Dear Ms. Jodi,

Apropos of absolutely nothing at all, have you ever read the book, “X Saved the World,” by Jeff Gordinier?

I just picked it up on a whim from my local library (where I’m writing this, right now!), and I noticed the third second of the book is titled, “I Will Dare (2006 – Present: Not Sucking.”

It made me think of you. Hope you get your new job and that everything goes awesome and that 2009 kicks all kinds of backside for you!
