Didn't really grab me, so I probably won't finish it. But I'm always checking out new things.

I started "Rooster" but I'm bailing on that one as well. I have an aversion to academia-themed shows, movies, and books. But I thought I'd give it a try.

Oh well, "Comedy's a funny thing," as they say.

And it rarely covers any new ground. Just how many more books do we need written about (and by) a professor who cheats on his wife with a young student?
