One of my coworkers has been raving nonstop about Michael Chabon's (author of Wonder Boys, among other things) novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, which is about two male friends who write a comic book during, I believe, World War II? She's so enthusiastic about it that I want to read it myself - plus, I haven't read the book Wonder Boys, but I imagine it's even better than the movie, which I love - so I thought I'd pass that along. :)
