so yeah, dave eggers is a total stud. i never read books, but my friend lent me staggering genius and i plowed through it. awesome. now, i'm on velocity. started: meh; currently: oh yeah. i can dig this stuff. but who else is in this league, in this style? who are his contemporaries, his influences? i want to have more eggers, but, unfortunately, there ain't much eggers to be had. i need more! i love eggers!

total stud.

check out McSweeney's for other authors in a similar style.

Michael Chabon and David Foster Wallace are both sort of similar.

if you like dave eggers' style, i would suggest john hockenberry's memoir, "moving violations." their writing styles are similiar.

dave eggers teaches at berkeley, where i go to school! i think so anyway, i believe he teaches in the graduate journalism department.

also, did write all those other books listed above? i've only read heartbreaking work of staggering genius, but i loved it
