Zeitoun

Sometimes, we read books around here (it's not all pop music and dancing around in our underwear), and i'm knee deep in "Zeitoun" by Dave Eggers right now. It is the true story of a Syrian immigrant who stays in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina to watch after his home, his business, and help where he can. Good stuff. Eggers writes with his normal gift for the gab here and doesn't come off as pretentious as he usually does. Hooray.
