Does anyone really read McSweeney's? We have collected this publication since 1999. In the last few years it has arrived in increasingly show-offy packaging, interesting to unwrap but often difficult to read on the train. So I have fallen well behind. Since we are financing them to the tune of a $50 subscription a year, however, I have decided to catch up. Today I am halfway through issue 5. Only 10 more to go!
