About LaurenG

If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about? 

Timing! I have the worst timing...ever.

Besides SMITH, I read stories at: 

My house. I collect books like some people collect movie stubs. Online, I read a ton of blogs, as well as popular sites like NYMag.

My favorite story of all time is: 

Real life story: How my grandparents met.
Fictional story: "The Great Gatsby" or "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." What can I say, I love the classics.

Right now, I'm reading: 

Lots of essay books (Sedaris, Vowell, etc) and contemporary fiction (Foer, Chabon, etc)
