You would not believe the effort that has gone in to me reading this book. The librarian recommended it, put it on hold for me. I was too late to pick it up the first time. Back on hold, I missed it again, somehow it gets put on the New Books shelf and I grab it. I don't read it. It goes back to the library, I get shamed by the librarian, back on hold and I finally pick it up.
My excuse was "I am in a strange reading place right now." And she tells me.. "Good, this is a strange book."
And, when I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. When I started, I never believed it would actually end how I hoped. Not that it isn't strange, but if you get a chance, pick this guy up.
As far as authors, I usually hang out in the "How to Build a Car from Scratch", anything from Reynold Price, an occasional biography and whatever series has a new book. [Honestly, I read about anything. My only requirement is that you are a prolific writer. If you happen to write good stuff, that is icing on the cake. What I read for work is so incredibly boring, cereal boxes are an entertaining read to me.]
My goal in life is to read the library. I want to start at the A's and work all the way to 999.99. [This will tell you how bad I am.. When they rearranged the shelves in the library, I was confused for weeks. How dare they move the R's to the next rack..]
