So, /lit/, what was the last non-fiction book you read?

What do you think of David Mitchell's latest writing attempt, /lit/?

>David Mitchell, the award-winning author of Cloud Atlas, this morning turns to the "diabolical treble-strapped textual straitjacket" of Twitter for the first time to write his new story.

>Mitchell will unveil his tale, about a boy tripping on his mother's Valium pills, in Twitter's 140-character bursts.

>"The story is being narrated in the present tense by a boy tripping on his mother's Valium pills. He likes Valium because it reduces the bruising hurly-burly of the world into orderly, bite-sized 'pulses'. So the boy is essentially thinking and experiencing in Tweets," said Mitchell. "My hope is then that the rationale for deploying Twitter comes from inside the story, rather than it being imposed by me, from outside, as a gimmick. Usefully, the Valium also lets me walk that 'Turn of the Screw' tightrope between the fabulous and realism: maybe the supernatural events are really happening, or maybe they're just chemical phantasms."
