Shut up, Dave Eggers

I've officially given up on this year's best Nonrequired Reading. The kids who select have come way too much under Eggers' thrall (which is the Norse word for slave, or so it would seem from Sea of Trolls, which is the book I've cast Nonrequired over for). Also, it's more fiction than last year, and the fiction is annoying, in that Shut up, Dave Eggers kind of way.

Also, like no one saw this coming:

You are Belle & Sebastian's If You're Feeling
Sinister.
