A question for Daniel: I see that Foer's first listed work was A Convergence of Birds, which he edited. Is that the same as the book you read??And for everyone: Foer has also written Everything is Illuminated which was made into a movie starring Elijah Wood. I prefer "Extremely" to it, but we can read "Everything" instead if you prefer.I also highly recommend listening to Extremely, the recorded book. The voices in it are amazing, and really bring the book to life!!
This just in! Jonathan Safran Foer lives in the same buliding as Heath and Michelle!! Here are a few words from the beginning of "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"First chapter: "What The?"What about a teakettle? What if the spout opened and closed when the steam came out, so it would become a mouth, and it could whistle pretty melodies, or do Shakespeare, or just crack up with me?"Later on on page one is this quote:"I wonder if everyone's heart's would start to beat at the same time, like how women who live together have menstural periods at the same time, which I know about, but don't really want to know about."
