From the e-mail update that always arrives at the point of lowest hope on Friday afternoons:
How can you not want to read Ian McEwan's latest after seeing that hook? It's like a dare. The review itself is pretty splendid, although I was waiting for the appropriate "Ghost World" quotation that never arrived.
Also, I cropped it out, but right below this blurb was a muted Flash ad for something I want to read for non-dare-related reasons, David Lipsky's DFW book ALTHOUGH OF COURSE YOU END UP BECOMING YOURSELF.

That was a good review. I plan to check out Solar at some point simply because every McEwan novel I've read has been excellent and he has earned seven or eight hours of my time every time he releases a few novel, but I'm disappointed that reviews haven't been more favorable. He's one of the best.
