One of those unexpected discoveries as I was walking past the display tables at Barnes and Noble. I'm so glad I followed my instincts and picked it up that day. I tore through it and highly recommend it.Carl V.

I like that, too.<br /><br />I had the reverse reaction with respect to Foer's two novels. Everything Is Illuminated stayed with me for large spans of time (as did The History of Love, actually -- I almost commented on that post). While I loved this one as well, it didn't do quite the same. You do, however, make me want to reread it.<br /><br />Thanks for these.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486909853979478975noreply@blogger.com
