Currently, I am reading Schlepping Through the Alps by Sam Apple, and unsurprisingly I have developed a little crush on the author. I frequently crush on young authors and this guy has the bonus of seeming to be the kind of Jew that wouldn't normally have anything to do with my guido shicksa self. You know, the whole "forbidden fruit" concept. Sometimes I gaze longly at his author photo while I'm riding the subway and think, "I'm just so goyish. It would never work." This is the perfect crush for me.

Anyway. About this book. It's a great read if you're interested in Yiddish Folk Culture, Vienna, Joerg Haider and the FPÖ, the Austrian "first victim" defense and modern day anti-Semitism. Come to think of it, that's probably a pretty small demographic. As in me, and the guy who wrote the book. But if you visit the site above, you can indeed view the "Who Let the Jews Out?" Animation. So, that's something.
