Quote 345 of 521

He [Nicholson Baker] lost a month of 2003 to his obsession with the
news, swore off Google News and blogs--he now has a Post-It on his
screen saying ONLY E-MAIL--and finally wrote the first draft of
"Checkpoint" in April 2004, during the siege of Fallujah, because he
could think about nothing else.
