Freeeeeeeedom!

How are you celebrating the release of Jonathan Franzen's long-awaited masterpiece Freedom?

Here are some fun ways to spend your Franzen Day:

- Read exciting review-advertisements of Freedom in the New York Times, Salon, the Los Angeles Times, the Miami Herald, and the New York Times (again).

- Admire Jonathan Franzen's intensely somber visage on the cover of TIME:

 

- Draw your own portrait of Jonathan Franzen in MS Paint:

- Watch George Michael's "Freedom! '90" music video.

- Read emperorfranzen's tweets.

- Finish your Christmas shopping early by buying copies of Freedom for all your friends and family members.

- Laugh at the pitiful middlebrow anti-intellectual hacks who are jealous of Jonathan Franzen.

- Read Freedom.

- If your bookstore has sold all of its copies of Freedom, reread The Corrections, because apparently they're exactly the same thing.

Happy Franzen Day!
