The Embarrassing Daves.
When did Dave Eggers fall with Dave Matthews into the category Things Cool People Don't Like? There were times I loved both these men in earnest (2002 and 1997, respectively). But it's uncool to like them, so until today I talked about my love for Crash or A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius in self-deprecating, haha-I-was-young sort of tone. No more. I loved both those things and I don't care who knows it!

In 2002, I had to hide the fact that I didn't get what that big deal was with this Eggers and that the title of his book was a bit of an overstatement.
Though I will still totally still sing along with DMB when it comes on the radio in the car.
dang, i really loved what is the what. maybe i need to read staggering genius to know what the eggers hatin' is all about.
He was def out as soon as he released that horrible novel... his second book. It was embarrassingly boring and bad.
Getting married made him a lot less interesting, too.
