Thanks for the recommendation of Calamity Physics. I’ll have to see if I can rustle up a copy from the library and read one of the books on this list.

I may have to pick one or two of them up…

Lisa…pick up Physics. It’s good fun.

Good Lord, I don’t think I’m smart enough for these books! But they do look fascinating.

“Falling Through The Earth” sounds really good to me. I have to admit I’ve never heard of any of these books – and I love to read! Shameful.

I read Richard Ford’s The Sportswriter forever ago. And for some unknown reason I returned to his work, and just finished his three-novela collection, Women with Men. The first story felt like Henry James, the second like Hemmingway, and the third like, maybe, Michael Cunningham. So I went backwards and picked up the second of the Frank Bascombe books, Independence Day. Damn, that man can write.

Holly, you just sold me on Ford. Am going to pick up Independence Day this week.

Hope you feel better. I’m fighting a killer headache right now. Hoping my stomach doesn’t follow….

I’m sad to say I haven’t read any of the books on the list this year.

Hope you’re taking a bit of a rest and getting yourself back up to par!

Thoughts on Anne Tyler? Sometimes I adore her and other times I can barely stomach her… but the adoption angle tickles my fancy…

It’s the flu, isn’t it? It’s coming around!
