I downloaded the Kindle version of The Famous Union during the holiday weekend because it looked like a fast, fun read.  Right on both counts.  As a college professor, I recognized all of the characters and found it totally believable that a college would hire a professor, cancel the program but not fire the professor.  It is one long insider joke - I know I wouldn't have found it so witty if I weren't in the profession myself.This took me all of 3 hours to read.  It's not deep or complex, and there are a lot of short chapters and white space on the page.  I wouldn't have been satisfied had I paid more for it, but for the couple of bucks I spent, it was a nice choice.
