That picture makes him look like Axl Rose.

I heard a rumor that DFW's first novel since Infinite Jest is coming out soon and will be called Chinese Democracy.

Do I actually have to obtain a copy to read the article? I'm a little confused.

I think it's a just a cover image.

Chinese Democracy is going to be one hell of a rocking album! God made the earth in six days, Axl Rose spent 40 freaking years making one hour of music... it's GOT to be good.

My roommate went and saw "Guns n Roses" the other night. I forgot to ask him how it was.

The "shoeboxes your kids will never think to look in" thing clued me in to the joke. Also, it looks a little like Parade magazine in design.

Although I think there's a serious article to be written about reading literature mindfully.

The fact that it was the Onion clued me in on the joke. Still don't find it that funny though.

of course, they were no good anyway.
