This book had the strange ability to erase itself completely from my mind every time I put it down. The setting is nearly alien (flirting with secretaries, calling people on the phone, having private offices, sharing beers with strangers on road trips). It seemed worth picking back up each time for the one-liners and the descriptions. I loved the words in this book. But I suspect it will drift away now that I've finished it.
