His book "What's Not to Love" is the funniest most self depricating humor I've ever encountered. Has anyone else ever read this guy?

I knew a John Ames. Probably not the same one...

This one doesnt happen to have teached orcestra a few years back, does he?

I just got the new McSweeney's and there's a DVD that comes with it, on which is a "literary cribs" segment with Jonothan Ames showing you aroundn his apartment. It's fairly funny ... I've only read a couple of his pieces, but I'd like to check out more. Thanks for the tip....
