So, awhile back, I quit Facebook, on which I had been wasting lots of time, and joined Twitter, on which I have been wasting barely any time. I don’t really get Twitter – probably mostly because if there’s anything I’m not, it’s concise. But last night, I finally participated in one of the trending topics, Less Interesting Books, and so here are my contributions, formatted as though they were a McSweeney’s List:
Titles of Less Interesting Books
1. Sense and Stability
2. Elizabeth Urello’s Diary
3. Infinite Pun
4. A Visit From the Pep Squad
5. To the Outhouse
6. The Daily Routine of Kavalier & Clay
7. Eat Pray Sleep
8. The Phantom of the Office
9. The Sound and the Comprehension of That Sound
10. The Long Well-Adjusted Life of Oscar Wao
11. Let Me Go Immediately
12. Calvin & Susie
13. Tender Is the Chicken
14. The Mortgaging of Hill House

What do you guys think of Twitter? Are you long-form or short-form interneters?
