Totally hip

I am now a Ron Charles fan. What is it about this dorky guy who delivers articulate, sometimes silly, spot on, quite informative book reviews in longer-than-60-second videos for The Washington Post? He'll probably supplant dear John Crace in my affections, if only because I get to see more of him. (John Crace is still more wickedly funny--see his digested read of Keith Richards). But this roundup of Booker finalists (this before the Finkler Question was named the winner) is hilarious, and sends up, gently, the tools for book recommendations that 23 Things suggests exploring.
