Nicholson Baker: Assassin Lite
by Michael Pate
Back in the early days of LibraryPlanet.com as a weblog, there are a whole bunch of entries about Nicholson Baker. He raged against librarians for our belief that all printed word is not some sort of sacred object that must be preserved in perpetuity. But never once did he, to the best of my knowledge, plan to murder any of us. Now he has written a book that outlines methods in which to assassinate George W. Bush. This guy makes Tony Stewart look like Gandhi. I am thinking we may need to start a fund or something to get him some help. Because he certainly needs some.
